Codes
Retarget a code
Change where a printed code sends people, without reprinting anything.
Do it
- In the Studio's Codes list, open the code's actions menu (the "⋯" button).
- Choose "Retarget…," type the new destination, and confirm.
- Over the API instead: PATCH /api/v1/codes/{slug} with a JSON body of {"destination": "https://..."}.
What to expect
In the common case the very next scan already lands on the new destination. The hard ceiling, published rather than rounded down to sound better, is five minutes: that is how long the edge cache is allowed to hold a stale answer if the instant sync step doesn't land, which the studio tells you about with a small "propagating" note rather than hiding it. The printed artifact itself never changes, only what it resolves to, and a code's scan history and count carry straight through a retarget: nothing resets. You can retarget the same code as many times as you like, forever, on any plan, at no cost beyond your own patience with typing in a new URL.
