Links
Link concept
A link is a short URL that redirects to a destination and tracks activity.
Why it matters
- Measure clicks, leads, and sales.
- Organize links inside collections.
How it connects
- Each link belongs to one collection.
- Links can include tags, partners, and UTM data.
- The collection name above the list is the current Links collection; select it to switch or create and activate another collection.
Switching the current Links collection does not scope the existing all-collection Analytics view.

Notes

- New-link drafts start with the current Links collection, but eligible users may choose another writable collection.
