Is there a way I can pass the context using return redirect in Django?

Question

I wanted to pass the context using return redirect since using return render will send the post again when refreshing the page.

This is my code for my return render:

context = {
        'file_path': file_path+'reviews_processed.csv',
        'file_name': 'reviews_processed.csv',
    }
    messages.add_message(request, messages.SUCCESS, 'Processing done!')
    return render(request, 'vlookup/vlookup.html', context)
    

and this is what I am trying to achieve:

# return redirect(vlookup, context)

Thanks!

You can use django messages or session for showing your custom context or message after successfully redirect. somethings will be like that

messages.add_message(request, messages.SUCCESS, 'Processing done!')
return redirect('your redirect page url')
