Managing Links

Once you’ve created short links, you’ll need to view, organize, and maintain them. This guide covers link management in the dashboard.

Your main dashboard displays all short links in a table format. Each row shows:

  • Name/Key - The link name or unique key identifier

  • Destination - The target URL (truncated for long URLs)

  • Clicks - Total click count

  • Status - Active or expired indicator

  • Created - When the link was made

Click any row to view the full link details.

Filtering by Active/Expired Status

Use the tab filters above the links table to narrow your view:

All

Shows every link in your account, regardless of status.

Active

Displays only links that are currently working:

  • No expiration date set, OR

  • Expiration date is in the future

Expired

Shows links that have passed their expiration date and no longer redirect visitors.

To modify an existing link:

  1. Click on the link in your dashboard to open details

  2. Click Edit Notes (or the edit button)

  3. Update the link name or notes

  4. Save your changes

What you can edit:

  • Link name

  • Notes/description

What you cannot edit:

  • The unique key (URL path)

  • The destination URL

If you need to change the destination URL, create a new link and delete the old one.

To permanently remove a short link:

  1. Open the link details page

  2. Click Delete (usually shows a confirmation dialog)

  3. Confirm the deletion

Important: Deleted links cannot be recovered. After deletion:

  • The short URL immediately stops working

  • Visitors will see “Not Found”

  • Click analytics are preserved in reports

Consider if you really need to delete, or if letting the link expire is sufficient.

From the link details page, you can easily copy your short link:

  1. Locate the short link URL display

  2. Click the Copy button (clipboard icon)

  3. The URL is copied to your clipboard

  4. Paste it anywhere: emails, social media, print materials

Sharing tips:

  • Test the link before sharing to large audiences

  • Use custom keys for memorable URLs in print

  • Include UTM parameters for campaign tracking

Best Practices

Naming Conventions

Use consistent naming for easy organization:

  • [Campaign] - [Channel] - [Date]

  • Example: “Winter Sale - Instagram Bio - Jan 2026”

Regular Cleanup

Periodically review expired links:

  • Delete links no longer needed

  • Archive analytics data if required

Group related links with similar naming:

  • Sale - Hero Banner

  • Sale - Email Header

  • Sale - Social Post
