Who this is for​

This guide is for signed-in users who actively manage live short links and need one place to create, review, and apply plan-based controls safely.

Before you start​

  • Sign in to the ShortURL app.
  • Confirm that you have permission to manage the relevant workspace or account.
  • Confirm the active plan before promising post-publish edits: Free includes creation with custom back-halves, tags, and UTM; Go adds status control; Plus and higher add destination updates, scheduling, expiry, after-expiry redirects, password protection, and list export.
  • Know whether the link you are editing already has live traffic or printed distribution.

What to do — Manage links from your dashboard​

  1. Open the links workspace or dashboard area for your account.
  2. Create links with the destination, domain, and optional back-half that fits the campaign or support workflow.
  3. Use destination edit controls when your plan includes them and the short URL must stay stable.
  4. Apply lifecycle settings such as enabled or disabled state, active windows, expiry time, and optional post-expiry redirect where your plan supports them.
  5. Use dashboard summaries and recent-item visibility to confirm whether the most important links are still aligned to current goals.

Use it well — Link lifecycle management tips​

  • Do not replace a live destination casually. If a short URL has already been distributed, the edit must be intentional and documented.
  • Create new links on the current default domain or an active branded domain. Existing 2s.gg links continue to work, but 2s.gg is not available for new link creation.
  • Use lifecycle controls for campaign timing when your plan includes them rather than deleting and recreating links. Stable short URLs are easier to audit and explain.
  • Keep high-risk destinations out of production until you have reviewed them in Link Inspector.
