The "Archive Product" module will allow you to get rid of broken links to product pages and attract visitors to your store. This module allows you to set the status of "Archive product" for a product and to specify a list of substitute products (new product models) for archive products.
Broken link - a link to a non-existent page, document, image. By clicking on a broken link, the user, at best, sees a message stating that the page was not found. In the worst case, he sees the server's service page.
By clicking on a broken link, a visitor, as a rule, does not return to the site. Especially if this is a new visitor who is on your site for the first time. Is it worth it to spend so much effort on attracting visitors that it is so easy to lose them?

But the worst thing about broken links is that they are hidden. You can constantly go through the site in ways convenient for you and not notice the broken links on which your visitors constantly stumble. Most of the broken links in the online store are links to disconnected products.

Why is it important?
Does your store have disabled items that were previously sold?
Do search engines know about these products (the pages of these products are already indexed) and buyers (recorded in the order history, are in bookmarks)?
If yes, then:
there are a lot of broken product links on your site. This entails the loss of positions in the search results and the loss of potential buyers who followed such links and ended up on the "Page not found" page. Most of these buyers will leave your site;
customers who have bookmarked such products will not be able to view and buy them, and you will not be able to offer him replacement products or new product models.
What does a module do?
Eliminates the possibility of generating broken links for products withdrawn from sales.
Removes a product from display in product categories, manufacturer pages, search and modules that display product lists.
Leaves the archive product page without the option to purchase that product.
Archived products are displayed in the user's bookmarks, order history without the ability to buy this product, but with the ability to go to the page of this product.
The ability for an archive product to set a list of new models and display it on the archive product page
