LINK PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Make long links easier to share without losing the page context.

Take a selected web address, gather available page details such as its title, description, and preview image, and prepare a shorter link. Keep the destination and proposed preview together so a person can confirm the link is accurate and appropriate before distribution.

Helps a communications team prepare compact links with useful page context for a planned campaign or resource list.

  1. Select the web address and intended use

    Collect the page title, description, and preview image when available, keeping them connected to the original address.

  3. Prepare a compact link

    Create a proposed short link using the agreed destination and any approved naming or grouping conventions.

  4. Review the destination and preview

    Have a person open the original and shortened links, check the displayed details and image, and resolve any mismatch or rights concern.

  5. Approve changes and sharing

    Require an authorized teammate to approve the exact link and audience before creating or changing a public link or distributing it.

The handoff

Keep in mind

Page details and preview images come from external content and may be missing, misleading, or subject to reuse restrictions. Verify the destination, final link, preview, and intended audience; require approval before updating an existing link or sharing it externally.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose link sources and allowed destinations

Set which addresses may be prepared and decide how redirects, unavailable pages, and unexpected destinations are handled.

Define link names and update behavior

Agree on naming conventions and specify how a proposed link that may replace an existing one is reviewed.

Set preview and image review rules

Choose which page details to retain and who confirms accuracy, attribution, and permission to reuse preview images.

Test ordinary and problematic pages

Check a normal page, a page with missing details, and a redirect; confirm every link is held until a reviewer approves it.

Keep exploring

Prepare targeted short links

Plan a compact shareable link with optional destination rules, then review the exact destination and audience before creation.
