Content type:HelpCategory:Getting StartedPublished:June 26, 2026Reading time:1 min read
When a fan opens your release smart link, Lynkify shows your published artwork, title, and platform buttons. Each click is tracked asynchronously.
Staging vs published
Edits save to staging first. Click Publish on the release link editor to push changes live. Draft platform URLs never appear on the public page.
Where to see analytics
Open Analytics in your workspace dashboard. Filter by release link to see views, clicks, countries, and referrers.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is my link showing a 404?
- The release link must be published and the slug must match the URL you shared.
