Author's Toolbox makes tatb.link short links in two places.

## Form short links

Every published form in **Form Builder** gets its own short link automatically, and it always opens that form. You manage it from the form's **Short link** dialog, which is also where you'll find the form's QR code and detailed stats. These links don't appear in Link Shortener.

## Link Shortener links

**Link Shortener** is for everything else: any web address you want to share, such as a book's retailer page, your website, a preorder page or a newsletter sign-up hosted elsewhere. You create these yourself, and they're listed in Link Shortener with a click count for each one.

## Which should I use?

- Sharing a form you built in Form Builder: use the form's own short link.
- Sharing anything else: use Link Shortener.

## QR codes and stats

Link Shortener shows a total click count for each link. It doesn't make QR codes or show breakdowns by day, country or source; those are only in a form's **Short link** dialog.

## Names are shared

Both kinds of link use the same tatb.link names, so a name used by one of your forms can't also be used in Link Shortener, and the other way round.
