Accidently Reset Options & Redirects missing?

Hello,

I did went to “Rank Math – General Settings – Edit robots.txt” and thought it would jsut reset the robots.txt so I could see the default of Rank Math ..

But as it seems it also reset other options? Now I am unsure which things had been reset and which things from the setup wizard are still the same as I have chosen?

Also what I noticed (but that might even happened before the reset of options) that suddenly a different domain was selected within the search console settings and there wasn’t any way to select the actual domain as chosen within the setup wizard.

So I had to deauthorize and re-authorize in order to re-select the corrct domain. I hope that not sitemaps or other things had been transferred to my other domain?

One more thing I need to clarify: How can I be sure that all redirections had correctly been imported from yoast seo?

I see lots of 404 page errors for urls that I remember I used at the very early beginning of my domain start (around 2 years ago). And I believe that I did redirected them to the new urls. Or maybe some of these I never directed but why should google still try to crawl urls that are atleast for 1+ year showing an 404 error? So I fear that redirections are lost.

Is it possible to find that out somehow if any redirections are missing since the switch to rankmath?

Thank you in advance!
