Select a document in a library and click **Short URL** in the command bar — the link is created in one click. For any other content (pages, folders, external sites) use the **Short URL Management** web part: enter the origin URL, choose a domain and type the short path; a title is optional. Step-by-step instructions are in [How to Create a Short Link in SharePoint Online](https://vitextra.com/en/support/kb/how-to-create-shorten-link-in-sharepoint-online). ### How is Short URL Online deployed? The package contains two files: `vitextra.short-url-online.sppkg` (the command bar extension) and `vitextra.short-url-online.webparts.sppkg` (the management web part). Both are uploaded to the tenant App Catalog. The web part can be made available to all sites at deployment, while the command bar extension must be added to each site (New → App → *Vitextra Short URL*); activation takes a couple of minutes per site. See [Deploy and Set Up Short URL Online](https://vitextra.com/en/support/kb/10057) and the [Administrator Guide](https://vitextra.com/docs/Short%20URL%20Online.%20Administrator%20Guide.pdf). ### Can I change an existing short link? Yes. Both the short path and the domain of an existing link can be edited at any time — from the document library or in the Short URL Management web part — without breaking the association with the original content. Short links support emoji and special characters such as `?`, `#`, `%` and `&`. ### Can a short link open different targets on different devices? Yes. In the Short URL Management web part you can set platform-specific targets — separate destinations for Windows, macOS, iPhone and Android — so the same short link opens, for example, a web page on desktop and a mobile app page on a phone. ### Where is the link data stored? Short link definitions are stored in a Microsoft Azure database operated by Vitextra; the unique ID of the user who created or modified a link is saved for tracking. Creating a link requires edit permission on the SharePoint site. The product is available for SharePoint Online only; for SharePoint Server use the on-premises [Short URL](https://vitextra.com/en/products/short-url) product. ## Knowledge Base - [Deploy and Set Up Vitextra Short URL Online](https://vitextra.com/en/support/kb/10057) ([Markdown](https://vitextra.com/en/support/kb/10057.md)) - [How To Create a Short Link in SharePoint Online](https://vitextra.com/en/support/how-to/create-shorten-link-in-sharepoint-online) ([Markdown](https://vitextra.com/en/support/how-to/create-shorten-link-in-sharepoint-online.md)) [Knowledge Base](https://vitextra.com/en/products/short-url-online/articles)
