Archive a forwarding link when it's no longer needed, such as when an appeal ends. Its QR code stops forwarding, and you can restore it any time.

Steps

1. 1

   In the sidebar, under Content, click Forwarding Links.

   

2. 2

   In the link's row, click Archive.

   

3. 3

   A box explains what happens. Click Archive link.

   

4. 4

   To bring a link back, open Archived links below the list and click Restore in its row.

   

What visitors see

• People who scan an archived link's code see "This link isn't active right now", with a note that there's plenty more to discover nearby.

Good to know

• The link's scan history is kept, and scans of the archived code are still counted.
• A restored link keeps its short link and QR code, so old signs work again straight away.
• If the page has just moved, change where the link goes instead of archiving it.
