Permalink

I have noticed that the permalink is changing. I don't know much about permalink, so I'm wondering what's going on ?

Which permalink?

One of my design:
https://www.shapeways.com/model/504592/usb-dust-plug-leaf-sty le.html?li=productBox-search

It has a permalink https://shpws.me/6eJd but now it changed into https://shpws.me/lnAT

I found this change after uploading a new photo and some updates in the description.

That's odd, they both have slightly different url's when clicked on too.

It's actually the same item page, but with 3 different url. Could you look into this ? There should be only one Permalink for one item page, otherwise I would have no idea which url to share in social media.

This stuff is way out of my league but it appears the 2nd permalink is the correct one. I'll see if I can find anything out.

What's your browser and OS?

I use Chrome in Windows XP.

Just found out this was because of a recent update, you shouldn't see that on items added after that update.

Sorry I'm confused, does it mean the permalink will change upon updates ? That way it isn't a permalink any more.

Can I use link such as:
https://www.shapeways.com/model/504592
will the last number ( 504592 ) change if I modify or update the content ?

No, it doesn't, and neither (should have) the Permalink.

I updated https://www.shapeways.com/model/504592/ and the permalink changed again. Is the last number 504592 the model number ?

Yes, that's the number of the model. If you update the file, the number will be the same (and previous file version will be replaced). If you upload as new, you will get a new model with a new number (and the old model will still be avaliable until you delete it).

Thanks for the answer. I think I will use the full link with model number. Plus Pinterest doesn't accept shortened link.
