Open Links, find the link, and open its action menu. Select Edit, change only the fields you need, then save. Updating the destination keeps the same short URL, link ID, analytics history, and attached QR code unless you explicitly replace or remove one of those resources. Turn off Active to stop normal redirection without deleting the link. Turn it on again when the link should resume. Schedules and expiration rules can also make an active link temporarily unavailable. Select Delete and confirm the warning. Deletion removes the short link and its attached QR relationship. Previously printed or shared copies of that URL will no longer reach the original destination.
Deletion is permanent. Pause the link when you may need its URL, settings, or analytics later.

Understand what an edit preserves

Changing the name, destination, settings, or related resources updates the existing link. Its ID remains the same. The public URL also remains the same unless you change the domain or alias. Existing analytics stay with the link unless you deliberately reset them. Use the link summary after saving to confirm its active state, destination, password flag, attached folders, tags, pixels, and QR code. Password values are never displayed after storage.

When to pause instead of delete

Pause a seasonal campaign, a destination under maintenance, or a link awaiting approval. Delete only when the short URL and its historical record are no longer needed. A paused URL can be restored, while a deleted URL should not be treated as recoverable. An active toggle is only one availability rule. Also check activation and expiration dates, click limits, password access, safety status, and audience targeting. Open the activity history when you need to see whether another member recently changed the resource.
