Using SharePoint ShortUrl a shortened hyperlink can be created for any Page, List Item, Document and View within SharePoint. With SharePoint ShortUrl you can create ShortUrl’s directly from the Site Actions Menu and/or any List/Library items Context Menu. If a ShortUrl has already been created, you can instantly copy to the clipboard, email the link directly (the link will be opened in your email client) and edit the shortened hyperlink. All the ShortUrl’s are stored in a regular SharePoint List which allows for all of the standard List functionality of audit trails, workflow, security permissions and item approval.

Why Use Short URL?

• Instead of sharing lengthy URLs like: https://apps365ltd.sharepoint.com/TestUrl/SharedDocuments/Company Documents/Documents/SharePointShortUrl_APP_About.docx
• You can share a simple link like: https://surl.link/kWe7fR
• Choose from a selection of secure domains to generate Short URLs: surl.link, surl.ms, officeurl.com, sharepointurl.com
• You can set a default domain for your environment, and all others will redirect seamlessly. It’s flexible, secure, and user-friendly.
