If you change the short URL of a QR Code that has already been published, the published version of that QR Code will no longer work and users will be led to a service page as shown below.

Example of the service screen users are led to if a short URL has been changed after being published.

If you want to customize the short URL, make sure you do so before publishing your QR Code.
