Managing Links

TL;DR: The Links dashboard lists all your masked links with status, click count, and destination. You search by keyword, filter by category or tag, bulk-edit attributes, and export link data. Click any link to edit its settings.

View, search, filter, and take action on your links from the central link list.

Link List View

Go to Link Manager Pro → Pretty Links to open the link list.

The list displays the following columns:

Column	What It Shows
Link Details	The full masked URL (clickable, opens in a new tab) and the destination URL
Routing	Redirect type (301, 302, 307), number of conditional routing rules, and an internal/external badge
Categories	Assigned categories for the link
Tags	Assigned tags for the link
Keywords	Auto-link status (enabled/disabled) and assigned keywords
Engagement	Total click count for the link
Created	Date the link was created
Actions	Copy, QR code, edit, and delete buttons

Search and Filtering

Search

Use the search bar at the top of the link list. Search matches against:

• Destination URL
• Slug
• Keywords

Type your query and the list filters in real time.

Filters

Use the tab bar and dropdowns above the list to narrow results:

Filter	How It Works
All / Internal / External tabs	Switch between all links, links whose destination matches your site domain (internal), or links pointing to other domains (external)
Category	Select a category from the dropdown to show only links assigned to it
Tag	Select a tag from the dropdown to show only links assigned to it

Combine filters with search for precise results. The list supports pagination for large link sets.

Link Actions

Each link row provides the following actions:

Action	How to Access	What It Does
View Report	Click anywhere on the row	Opens the detailed per-link report with clicks, device/OS/country/referrer breakdowns
Edit	Click the edit icon	Opens the link editor to modify any field
Delete	Click the trash icon	Permanently deletes the link (confirmation popup appears)
QR Code	Click the QR code icon	Opens a dialog with a QR code for the masked URL (see QR Code below)
Copy	Click the copy icon	Copies the full masked URL to your clipboard

Shareable Link and QR Code

The report sidebar displays a Shareable Link card with:

• Masked URL — the full masked URL for the link. Click Copy to copy it to your clipboard.
• Tracking params — if you have global tracking parameters configured, they appear here.
• QR code — a QR code image rendered inline. Click Download QR to save it as a PNG file.

QR Code

You can generate a QR code for any link from two locations:

From the link list: Click the QR code icon in the actions column. A dialog titled Pretty Link QR opens with the QR code image and a Download QR link.

From the link report: The QR code appears inline in the Shareable Link card on the right side of the report page.

The QR code encodes the full masked URL (including any global tracking parameters you have configured). The download saves a 192×192 pixel PNG file named pretty-link-{slug}.png.

Recent Activity

A paginated list of recent individual click events for the link.

Bulk Clear

Delete all links and associated data in one operation.

This removes:

• All links
• All click data
• All conditional routing rules
• All redirects
• All taxonomy relationships (categories and tags)

Warning: This operation is destructive and cannot be undone. Use this only when you need to completely reset your link data.
