# Public URL

> Every Visit gets its own link — and on Pro you can brand it.

Every property you create gets a public link straight away. You will find it in **Settings → Style & Embed**, under **Planpoint URL**, with an **Open** and a **Copy** button.

## The default URL

New properties are given a random, unguessable slug:

```
https://visit.planpoint.io/k3m9x2p7q1w
```

It works immediately, it is not listed anywhere, and it is not indexed by search engines — so a Visit is effectively private until you share the link.

## Custom URLs

<Card title="Pro feature" icon="crown" href="/account/plans">
  Customising the URL requires the Pro plan.
</Card>

On Pro, the **Public URL** field becomes editable and you can replace the random string with something readable:

```
https://visit.planpoint.io/42-oak-avenue
```

Rules:

* Letters, numbers and hyphens only — spaces are converted to hyphens and everything is lower-cased as you type
* At least 3 characters
* Must be unique across all Planpoint Visit properties
* A short list of reserved words (like `api`, `admin`, `login`) cannot be used

<Warning>
  Changing the slug **breaks the old link**. Anything already sent by email, printed on a brochure or embedded elsewhere will stop working. Settle on the URL before you distribute it.
</Warning>

## Legacy links

Older Visits used a `/v/<slug>` path. Those links still work and redirect to the flat URL, so nothing you have shared in the past needs updating.

## Sharing a Visit

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Email and messaging" icon="envelope">
    Paste the link into a mail or a WhatsApp message. The [social preview](/share/social-previews) shows the exterior photo automatically.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Portals" icon="globe">
    Add it as the virtual tour URL on the portals that accept one.
  </Card>

  <Card title="QR code" icon="qrcode">
    Generate a QR code from the link for window cards and printed brochures.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Your website" icon="code">
    [Embed it](/share/embed) directly in your own listing page.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Taking a Visit offline

To take a Visit offline without losing its content, use **Archive Visit** in **Settings → Details**. The public URL and any existing embeds stop working until you restore it, but the URL itself and all Visit data stay saved. See [Archive and restore Visits](/archive-visits).

Marking a property as **sold** in [Details](/build/details) is different: it adds a sold badge but leaves the Visit public. Deleting from the danger zone permanently removes the Visit instead of archiving it.
