Improvements​

  • Smarter link search — Searching for links now tries tag-based matching first, making it faster to find links by their tags. The 1-million-link search limit has also been removed.
  • Improved team management UI — Team members are now displayed in a card-based layout, and deleting team members has been streamlined with role information shown in the selection.
  • Better error messages for team members — Read-only team members now see clear "Access to domain denied" messages instead of confusing upgrade prompts when attempting edits, accessing Campaign tracking, or viewing geo-targeting.
  • Domain purchase results sorted by relevance — When purchasing a domain, the exact domain you searched for now appears at the top of the results.
  • Clearer team creation error message — Users on plans that don't include teams now see a descriptive message explaining which plan is required instead of a generic error.
  • Correct plan name in subscription emails — Subscription confirmation emails now show the proper plan name (e.g., "Team") instead of the internal identifier.
  • 2FA enforcement validation — Team owners must now enable two-factor authentication on their own account before they can enforce 2FA for their team.
  • Free subdomain limit indicator — The dashboard now shows the total number of free subdomains available on your plan.
  • Bulk create/edit messaging — Success messages for bulk link creation and editing now accurately reflect that these operations run asynchronously.
  • Integrations page redesign — The integrations settings page has been updated with a refreshed tab layout matching the latest UI style.
  • Cloaking restricted to paid plans — Link cloaking is now available only on paid plans; free plan users are shown an upgrade prompt.
  • Improved link deselection — Links are now automatically deselected when you switch between folders, preventing accidental bulk operations.
  • Copy full invite link — The team invite link now copies the complete public URL to your clipboard.
