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.

Short links accumulate. After a few campaigns you will want to find one quickly, check whether it is still working, grab it again for a new post, or clear out the ones that have served their purpose. All of that happens on the Links page and on each link’s own page.

Finding a link

Links in the navigation lists every link you have made. The home page shows only your five most recent, with View all leading here. Three tools narrow the list down, and they work together:

  • The filters - All Links, Active, No Expiry and Expired

  • The search box - Matches against the link’s name, its destination URL and its private note

  • Sort by - Newest first (the default), Oldest first, Most clicks, Name (A-Z) or Expiring soon

Active covers links that still redirect: those with no expiry date, plus those whose date is still in the future. No Expiry is the narrower view of links that will never lapse.

Most clicks is the quickest way to see which link is actually working, and Expiring soon surfaces what is about to lapse before a campaign ends.

Copying a link to share it

There are two places to grab a short URL, and both give you the complete address with your domain on the front:

  • From the Links page - The Copy button in each row copies that link’s short URL straight to your clipboard

  • From the link’s page - Copy buttons sit beside both the shortened URL and the original URL

Test a link once before you put it in front of a large audience, especially in print where you cannot correct it afterwards.

Getting a link’s QR code

Every link has a QR code, on its own page under QR Code. It encodes the short URL, so a scan goes through the same redirect and is counted as a click.

  • Download SVG - Stays sharp at any size. Use it for print, packaging and posters.

  • Download PNG - A plain image file, best for slides, social posts and email.

Editing a link

Open the link and click Edit. You can change:

  • Link Name - The label you recognise it by

  • Private Note - Your internal detail about the link

Click Update Link to save.

The short key and the destination URL cannot be changed after a link is created — the page says as much when you open it. This is deliberate: the short URL may already be printed on something or sitting in someone’s inbox, and quietly repointing it would change where those people end up. If you need a different destination, create a new link and delete the old one when nothing is pointing at it any more.

Deleting a link

From the link’s page, click Delete and confirm.

Deletion is permanent and takes effect immediately: the short URL stops working, and anyone who follows it gets a “not found” response. The short key becomes available again, so you can reuse it on a new link.

Before deleting, consider whether you still need the link’s click history — the record goes away with the link.

Keeping things tidy

  • Name links consistently - A pattern like “Campaign — Channel — Month” makes both the search box and Name (A-Z) far more useful: “Winter Sale — Instagram Bio — Jan 2026”

  • Group a campaign by name - “Sale — Hero Banner”, “Sale — Email Header”, “Sale — Social Post” all surface together from one search

  • Review the Expired filter now and then - Delete what you are finished with, and leave the ones whose numbers you still want to look at
