Overview
The Manage Temporary Links section allows you to monitor and organise all of your temporary links from one place. From here, you can review each link's configuration, monitor its status, and identify which links are still active or have already expired.
Regularly reviewing your temporary links helps ensure that only the links you intend to keep available remain active while expired links can be easily identified.
Good to Know:
Temporary links may expire due to a configured expiry date, maximum click limit, or inactivity timeout. Reviewing your links regularly helps you keep your shared resources organised.

- Verify expiry settings before sharing important links.
- Use password protection for confidential content.
- Apply meaningful nested routes to keep related links organised.
- Remove or replace expired links in documents, emails, or websites where necessary.
- Use appropriate expiry settings for each use case instead of relying on a single configuration.
Troubleshooting
A temporary link is no longer working
Check the link's status. It may have expired because its configured expiry date, maximum click limit, or inactivity timeout has been reached.
The link expired earlier than expected
Review all configured expiry conditions. A temporary link expires as soon as any one of its configured conditions is satisfied.
The destination page cannot be opened
Verify that the destination URL was entered correctly when the temporary link was created.
Password-protected links cannot be accessed
Ensure the correct password is being entered before attempting to open the destination URL.
