    Review the full address, its expected destination, and any proposed custom wording for accuracy and safety.

  3. Prepare the compact link

    Create a shorter version only after the destination and label are clear and suitable for the intended use.

  4. Review the result with its destination

    Keep the proposed link beside the original address so a reviewer can confirm where it leads.

The handoff

A proposed short link paired with its full destination, intended purpose, and approval status.

Keep in mind

A shortened address can hide a misleading or unsafe destination, and a custom label can create a link that others may access. Check the full destination, confirm the intended audience, and require an authorized person to approve the exact destination and label before creating or distributing the link.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose eligible destinations and uses

Define which kinds of addresses may be shortened and whether links are intended for private, internal, or public use.

Set destination review rules

Decide how to handle unfamiliar, redirected, sensitive, or potentially misleading destinations.

Define custom label standards

Choose who may request a custom link label and how conflicts or misleading labels are resolved.

Assign link approvers

Name who verifies the full destination and approves each exact link before it is created or shared.
