📋 General description or bullet points

Solid router has useNavigate and redirect. It wasn't clear to my why. I asked in Discord

@klequis

└── 📁categories
    └── [...notfound].jsx
    └── keyboards.jsx
    └── mice.jsx

I want [...notfund].jsx to redirect/navigate to /products/index.jsx. Does it matter if I use redirect vs useNavigate?

And got an answer from Ryan I would not have thought of:

"redirect actually only works inside cache and action functions (edited)
everywhere else useNavigate"

This seems like a good add to the doc.

We could probably add a note to the redirect page that it only works in cache/action functions. Thoughts?
