# Revoke or restore a link
> Instantly disable a partner's affiliate link and every alias, then restore it later without regenerating, in Introw.
{/* Sometimes a link has to be shut off fast: a partner leaves the program, or their traffic looks
abusive. Revoking disables the link and all its aliases immediately so they stop redirecting and
stop attributing, even for clicks already in flight. Restoring brings it back without regenerating,
so you stay in control of every link's lifecycle without losing the partner's history. */}
## What you'll achieve
A partner's affiliate link (its default code and every custom alias) instantly disabled so it no longer redirects or attributes conversions, with the ability to restore it later exactly as it was. Custom aliases stay reserved while revoked, so no one else can claim them.
## Before you start
Know which partner's link you need to revoke or restore. The **Links** tab marks a disabled link with a **Revoked** pill, and a **Review** pill flags partners whose traffic looks suspicious.
## Watch it
## Steps
Go to [Affiliate campaigns](https://app.introw.io/campaigns), open the campaign, and select the **Links** tab. Locate the partner's row.
Open the row's actions menu and select **Revoke link**. The confirmation dialog explains the effect: the default code and every custom alias immediately return an error and stop attributing conversions, even for clicks already in flight. Custom aliases stay reserved while the link is revoked, so they cannot be taken by anyone else. Confirm with **Revoke link**. The row then shows a **Revoked** pill.
To bring a link back, open the actions menu on the revoked row and select **Restore link**. The default code and all its aliases start working again immediately, with the link's history intact. No regeneration is needed and partners keep the same URLs.
If you want to permanently release a specific alias rather than keep it reserved, open **Manage aliases** for the link and delete that alias. Its slug becomes available for reuse.
## Verify it worked
A revoked link no longer resolves to the destination and records no new conversions; its row carries the **Revoked** pill. After restoring, the same default code and aliases redirect and attribute again. Because revocation is reversible, you can shut off a link the moment it is misused and bring it back if the situation changes.
