supersede them completely.
Usually you just foward the old URL to the new URL. Either through .htaccess,
which Google likes best:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^my-old-page.html$ new-page.html [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Or use an HTML header entry on the old page:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1;
url=http://example.com/new-page.html">
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
window.location.href = "http://example.com/new-page.html"
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

Contact me directly whoever's doing the changes if you need/want help.
Best,
