# How to Add and Configure the Short URL Management Web Part

Step-by-step guide to adding the Vitextra Short URL Management web part to a SharePoint Online page, setting its title, approving the Microsoft Graph permissions it uses and checking that the list of short links loads.

## Introduction

The **Short URL Management** ::web part:: lists all the short links created in your ::Microsoft 365:: ::tenant:: and lets you search, create, edit and delete them. This article explains how to add it to a page and what to check after the first load.

## Before you begin

- The **vitextra.short-url-online.webparts.sppkg** package is deployed to the ::App Catalog::. See [KB10057. How to Deploy and Set Up Short URL Online](https://vitextra.com/en/support/kb/10057).
- You have permission to edit the page.
- A tenant administrator has approved the ::Microsoft Graph:: permissions requested by the package (see below).

## Add the web part to a page

1. Open the ::SharePoint:: page and click **Edit**.
2. Hover over the place where you want the web part and click **+** (**Add a new web part**).
3. Type **Short URL Management** in the search box and select the web part.

4. Click into the **Web Part Title** area above the ::list:: and type a title, for example **Short links**.
5. Click **Publish** (or **Republish**) to make the page available to others.

📝 **Note**  
The web part can be placed in a regular section of a page and also on a full-width ::app page:: (a page in the **Single-Part App Page** layout). It does not support the classic SharePoint pages.

## What the web part shows

- **Command bar** - **New Link** when no row is selected; **Edit** when one row is selected; **Delete** when one or more rows are selected (with the number of rows in brackets for several). At the right end, the **Refresh** icon reloads the list.
- **Search box** - searches by title or link.
- **List** - the columns **Title**, **Link**, **Created** and **Created By**. The **Link** column shows the full short link with an icon to copy it.
- **Pagination** - 15 links per page, with buttons to go to the first, previous, next and last page.

The web part shows the links of the whole tenant, not only those of the current ::site::.

For searching and sorting, see [KB10476. How to Find, Sort and Page Through Short Links in Short URL Management](https://vitextra.com/en/support/kb/10476).

## Microsoft Graph permissions

The **Created By** column shows the name of the person who created each link. To resolve the names, the solution uses Microsoft Graph and requests two permissions: **Directory.Read.All** and **User.Read.All**. A tenant administrator must approve them once in the ::SharePoint admin center::. For the procedure, see [KB10360. How to Approve Microsoft Graph API Permissions for Vitextra Solutions in the SharePoint Admin Center](https://vitextra.com/en/support/kb/10360).

❗ **Important**  
Until the permissions are approved, the list of short links can still be used, but the **Created By** column may not show the names of the authors.

## License

Short URL Online is licensed per tenant. When the trial or the subscription expires, the web part asks you to buy the product. See [KB10364. What Happens When Your Vitextra Trial or Subscription Expires](https://vitextra.com/en/support/kb/10364).

💡 **Tip**  
Place the web part on a page in a site that is accessible only to the people who manage short links, for example an intranet administration site.
