Lets learn how:

Blog owner can do this by Editing the custom page not found setting option in setting>search preferences>errors and redirection>custom page not found.  These features help readers to view a customize HTML message to set the 404 error page not found setting which is very important to avoid loss of potential users or declining traffic graph & ranking of a blog/site.

This feature is useful when you are planning that instead of reaching on default homepage in response of 404 error page, users directly reach on the right and specific page that's previous URL address was changed, deleted or updated. In this case you should use custom redirect option for one or more pages to help your users to reach on what they are looking over there. 

For example we have an old post "Create your own blog" with URL http://lbsfree.blogspot.com/2017/03/create-your-own-blog.html and due to any reason its URL address changed or the post deleted and now you want that users when access this URL will automatically redirect to a specific new post title (How to create a free blog on blogspot) URL address i.e http://lbsfree.blogspot.com/2017/03/test-post-how-to-create-free-blog.html instead of previous page no more searchable.

Now you need to type the new URL address in To  likewise only type second part of new URL for example /2017/03/test-post-how-to-create-free-blog.html. After that check on Permanent and click on Save. To complete this action finally click on Save Changes. 
Edit Custom Redirects

The result page will look like this, you can check it by giving the same URL as reflecting in following redirected Home webpage:
