Questions about permanent links

If a link will live in print or stay in circulation for years, make the destination the part you can change.

Read the Permanent Links Guide

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.
