The source moved. Your printed link still works. When a cited page disappears, point fg.link/ch3 at the new location. Every copy already in readers’ hands keeps working, no reprint needed. Build Permanent Links

  • Publish it in your book, PDF, course, or docs
  • Update the destination whenever the source changes
  • Measure reader engagement with click analytics

What is a permanent link?

A permanent link is a short URL you can publish once and keep updating. The public URL stays the same even when the destination page moves or changes.

Can I update a link after it is printed?

Yes. Update the destination in T.LY instead of reprinting a book, PDF, package insert, business card, or QR code.

Where are permanent links useful?

They work well for books, citations, research, course materials, documentation, packaging, printed handouts, and any content that needs to outlive its first destination.

Can I track clicks on a permanent link?

Yes. T.LY can show click activity and campaign context so you can see whether readers, customers, or students are using the resource you published.
