  4. Select a domain. This will be the first part of your short link.

  5. Enter a custom back half of up to 50 characters, or leave the random characters. You can also click Optimize to select a style for AI-generated suggestions.

  6. Enter a name for your link. This will be displayed on your dashboard to help you find the link in the future.

  7. You can also edit the link preview for social media by adding a special title, description, and thumbnail image. For details, see How does editing a link's preview settings affect my social posts?
