# How to edit an invite after sending it

There are numerous free URL management tools to make using VDO.Ninja even more flexible

You can use a link manager to create a short, friendly URL that points to your longer VDO.Ninja invite. Later, you edit the target behind the short link instead of sending everyone a new invite.

[invite.cam](https://invite.cam/) can encode or shorten VDO.Ninja links, and signed-in short-link management can be used where the invite.cam shortener service is enabled. Third-party URL managers, such as [Short.io](https://short.io), can also work well for aliases, visit counts, and changing an invite after it has already been sent.

[VDO.Ninja](https://vdo.ninja) lets you move guests between rooms and change the URL of a guest after they have connected, but a link manager is the better tool when you want to change a link before the user has connected.

{% hint style="info" %}
A short link does not by itself make a guest's OBS source persistent. For that, give the guest a stable stream ID with [`&push`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push.md), use [`&permaid`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/and-permaid.md), or use scenes/slots. See [Permanent links, reusable invites, and stream IDs](/guides/how-to-get-permanent-links.md).
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.vdo.ninja/guides/edit-an-invite-after-sending-it.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
