Getting Started

First steps for installing, activating, and using GoshLinks.

Learn how link status works and what happens when a short link is deactivated.

Understand the difference between permanent and temporary redirects, and when to use each one.

Follow the basic steps for creating a short link with a slug, target URL, redirect type, and status.

Set an expiry date so a link stops redirecting automatically after a campaign or deadline ends.

Compare the main features available in GoshLinks Free and GoshLinks Pro so you know which tools are included with each licence.

Learn how to view, search, edit, deactivate, delete, and manage links from the All Links page.

Set a future start date so a link only becomes active when the campaign or content is ready.

Choose where visitors should be sent when a specific link is inactive, scheduled, or expired.

Learn what GoshLinks tracks, where stats appear, and how click data helps you understand link activity.

Learn how base paths and slugs combine to create the short URLs visitors use.

Use Pro advanced options such as scheduling, expiry dates, and custom deactivated URLs.

Use search and quick filters to find links by status, slug, destination, notes, or other link details.

Add custom Help Notes for your team without changing the standard GoshLinks help instructions.

Add internal notes to links so your team can keep context, reminders, and campaign details in one place.

Switch between table and stacked layouts so the All Links page fits the way you prefer to work.
