LINK MANAGEMENT · Workflow idea

Make links easier to share without hiding where they lead.

Create a short link for a destination that its owner is authorized to share, with an optional memorable code. Check the final destination for accuracy and safety, avoid putting personal or secret information in a link, and disclose the destination when sharing outside a trusted group. Restrict who can create, change, or disable links, and have an owner review public links and their intended audience.

The handoff

Keep in mind

A shortened address can conceal a harmful or incorrect destination, and public links may spread beyond the intended audience. Verify destinations, use access controls, avoid embedding private information, disclose links clearly, and provide a way to disable links that are no longer safe.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Restrict link creation and editing

Allow changes only from people responsible for the destination.

Set destination review and safety rules

Check links before shortening and recheck them if destinations change.

Define expiry and disable procedures

Remove access when a link is outdated, compromised, or no longer needed.

Keep private information out of link codes

Use neutral codes and disclose shortened destinations to recipients.

Keep exploring
