Review before creating links

1. 1Check each destination and title. Expand Description, ending, and collections to edit optional fields.
2. 2Choose Generate new endings to avoid custom-alias conflicts. Use endings from my file requires Growth or grandfathered custom-ending access.
3. 3Deselect any rows you want to skip. Use the previous and next controls to review larger files.
4. 4Confirm the collections to import. Existing names are reused and missing collections are created.
5. 5Choose Import links. LinkStack checks selected rows and available account capacity before the first batch is saved. Fix any marked rows directly on the page.
6. 6Download the report and open View links. Imported links are active immediately.

• Titles support up to 120 characters, descriptions up to 500, and each link can have up to 20 collections with names up to 80 characters.
• Generated endings are available on every plan. Custom endings must normalize to 4–40 lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens and must be available.
