Test a URL Shortener
Updated
by Christy Cook
Use the Test URL button to test the URL Shorteners. This will open a new browser tab and automatically open the URL shortener.
The Test URL button adds the query string value ?__PREVIEWMODE=1 to the end of your URL shortened link. When this is included metrics for your URL Shortener are not counted.
When you use your URL Shortener make sure to use the shortened URL and not the URL created by the Test URL result.
