Quick Links - Unable to modify URL after a link is created

[Cynthia Walby]

Hello,

In an SPO site collection, I've created a modern page, and added a Quick Links webpart. Then added 3 new links. I wanted to update the URL field to a different link, but found I cannot edit the URL field within the Edit pane.

Anyone else having this issue?

Having the ability to change the URL is quite important, it would be a nightmare to have to delete and recreate the links, just to update a URL.

Thanks everyone,

Cindy

Hi @Cynthia Walby,

This seems to be a bug (or a feature??). I'm getting the same issue.

Or a lack of functionality in the WebPart :)

[#4]

I'm going to go with a "bug", as I've already had one bug fixed in the Quick Links webpart (clicking link for adding image froze IE11 browser).

Can we submit this as a potential bug, from within this forum?

Thanks everyone for the feedback,

Cindy

Was there any resolution on this? I am new to site but experiencing same issue.

@Matt Harrison 

2017.... did you ever find a way to edit the URL once created or is it still a bug 4 years later?

@El-destructo it's certainly not a bug; I have no problem changing a quick link's url.

Is this in SharePoint Online?
If so, would you mind pointing me to where? Note this is the QuickLink created on the Pages tab where you can either create a new Page or New link. The details don't have any option I can see for the url.

Hi Cynthia Walby,
I had same issue so i reach to your post. Now my issue is resolved.
I previously used google chrome for editing sharepoint sites and get those issue.
When I try Microsoft Edge, I do not face such issue.
Now I can properly edit the link update the image of a Quick Link.
Please try using Microsoft Edge.

I had the same problem not being able to Edit quick links when using Chrome (the only option showing was Remove).
After reading the above, I used Edge and I the full edit option (Edit, Move, Remove).
Thank you
