      I'm migrating an old website into a new one, and have several pages that have bookmarks on them.  Do I need to redirect those? or how should they be treated?

      For example, both https://www.tnscanada.ca/our-expertise.html and https://www.tnscanada.ca/our-expertise.html#auto resolve .

        I'm not sure I understood the question. Are you using the term bookmark referring to this part of the URL: "#auto" ? This is appended to the URL to make it refer to a specific point in the page or a page fragment. It's not the same as a bookmark.

        When migrating the site you can add the same IDs in the new pages to preserve the fragments. Otherwise the URL will open the whole page by default (if the ID was not found).
