What happens to public Link Tree URLs after archive, redirect, alias retirement, or deletion?
Archive keeps a tree online; redirect changes the destination; retirement and deletion permanently disable addresses.
Overview
These actions have different public consequences. Read the confirmation rather than treating them as interchangeable ways to hide a tree.
Public outcomes
- Archive: the tree is inactive in the library but its public page stays available.
- Redirect: visitors go directly to the override destination.
- Retire alias: that old custom URL permanently returns 410 Gone.
- Delete tree: all its public identifiers permanently return 410 Gone and remain reserved.
Choose before confirming
If you want visitors to reach another campaign, consider a redirect. If you only want library organization, archive. Do not delete to try to make a slug reusable.
Availability and access
Availability depends on your organization access and assigned permissions.
