Managing Short Links

Edit destinations, enable or disable redirects, delete links, and review the full history of destination changes.

Viewing All Short Links

1. From your dashboard, navigate to Links in the sidebar (via Create then Links).
2. The list shows each link's short URL, destination, creation date, and status (active or disabled).

From here, you can manage any link by clicking on it or using the action icons.

Editing the Destination URL

You can change where a short link points without changing its code. If you've already shared it on business cards, print materials, or social media, just update the destination -- no need to re-share a new URL.

1. Find the link you want to update.
2. Click the edit action.
3. Enter the new destination URL. The update takes effect immediately.

The short link code stays the same. Future clicks go to the new destination, while previously recorded analytics are preserved.

Pro Tip: Printed business cards with a link to your old website? Just update the destination to your new site -- no reprinting needed.

Enabling and Disabling Short Links

You can temporarily pause a short link without deleting it by toggling between active and disabled states.

Disabling a Short Link

1. Find the link you want to disable.
2. Click the disable toggle. The status changes to disabled.
3. While disabled, clicks won't redirect to the destination.

Disabling preserves the link and all its analytics data -- you're just pausing the redirect.

Re-enabling a Short Link

1. Find the disabled link (visually distinguished in the list).
2. Click the enable toggle. The status changes back to active.
3. The link immediately resumes redirecting, and new clicks are tracked normally.

Pro Tip: Use disable/enable for time-limited promotions. Disable the link when the promotion ends, then re-enable it later -- all historical analytics stay intact.

Deleting Short Links

Deletion is permanent and can't be undone.

1. Find the link you want to delete.
2. Click the delete action.
3. Confirm when prompted.

Once deleted:

• The short link code is permanently removed and won't be reused.
• Clicks will show a 404 (not found) error page.
• All analytics data for the link is removed.

Make sure the link isn't in active use before deleting -- any references on printed materials, emails, or social media will lead to a 404.

Pro Tip: Not sure whether to delete? Disable it first instead. A disabled link can always be re-enabled, but a deleted link is gone forever.

Destination History

Leenkies automatically tracks every destination URL change, giving you a complete history of where the link has pointed over time.

What Destination History Shows

Each entry includes:

• The destination URL -- Where the link was pointing at that time.
• The date of the change -- When the destination was set or updated.

Why Destination History Matters

• Audit trail -- A clear record of every change for team or client link management.

• Reverting changes -- Accidentally set the wrong URL? Check the history to find and restore the previous destination.

• Campaign tracking -- If you reuse a link across campaigns by updating the destination each time, the history correlates analytics with specific campaigns.

The destination history tracks every URL change, giving you a complete audit trail of where your short link has pointed over time.
