301 vs 302 Redirects Explained — Which One Should Your Links Use?

How to Rename a Link (the Text, the URL & the Preview)

"Rename a link" means three different things — and this video does all of them. One: the display text in a doc or an email — click the link, retype the text. Two: the address itself — you can't rename a page you don't own, but put a Linkly short link in front of it, name the ending anything you like, and put it on your own domain so nothing of the original address is left. Three: the preview — set a custom title and image for the card your link shows when it's shared.
