Usage


Once configured, a Short Link panel will appear in the sidebar of any entry that belongs to a section with URLs.

  • Creating a short link: enter a custom slug in the Short Link sidebar section and save the entry. If left blank, no short link is created.
  • Updating a short link: update the short link slug in the sidebar and save. The existing Dub link is updated in place.
  • Deleting a short link: a short link will be removed from Dub when an entry is deleted or when a short link slug is removed and the entry is saved.
  • Archiving a short link: a short link will be archived in Dub when an entry is disabled.
  • QR code: depending on the Sidebar → QR code setting, a QR code for the short link is shown in the sidebar as a small icon or a full image.
  • Click count: enable Sidebar → Show click count to display a read-only click total for the short link in the sidebar.

The entries index #

The entries index can show a Short Link column. Open Customize sources from the gear at the bottom of the index sidebar, choose a source, and add Short Link to its Table Columns.

It is off by default, since the index belongs to whoever set it up. Each row shows the short link for the site being viewed, and nothing for an entry that has none. The column only appears for users with the View the Short Link panel permission.
