Custom page links
Give a Page a link you choose, without the random code at the end.
Every Page gets a link like q3-review-k8f2q.second.page. The letters at the
end are a random code: they make the link hard to guess, which keeps Pages
shared with "Anyone with the link" out of reach of people who were never sent
it.
On Pro and Enterprise plans you can replace that link with one you choose, such
as q3-board-review.second.page.
Change a Page's link
- Open the Page's menu and choose Rename, or open Share and find Custom page link.
- Type the link you want. Words are turned into a link for you:
Q3 Board Reviewbecomesq3-board-review. - Wait for Available, then save.
The old link keeps working and forwards to the new one, so links already sent in emails and docs still land on the Page. Nobody else can take the old link.
You can also ask your agent or Turner to change it. An agent can change the link of a Page it created; any other Page needs a person who manages it.
Link rules
A custom link:
- uses at least 3 words, like
q3-board-review - can't start with a word SecondPage uses for its own pages, such as
help,docs, orpricing - can't include words used on sign-in pages, such as
loginorverify - can't include a well-known company or website name, such as
googleorpaypal - can't be a link another Page has, or ever had
If a link breaks a rule, the field says which one.
Before you choose a custom link
A custom link is easy to guess. For a Page shared with Anyone with the link, someone could reach it by typing a likely address. Keep sensitive Pages on Restricted or Your organization, or keep the random link.
Plans
Choosing a custom link requires Pro or Enterprise. A link you chose keeps working if your organization later moves to Starter; changing it again needs an eligible plan.
