Updating a Printed QR Code

July 2026

One of the biggest advantages of a Smart QR Code is that it can be updated after it has been printed.

Instead of replacing posters, packaging or marketing materials, simply update the destination from your Sqanna dashboard.

Every existing copy of your QR Code continues working.

1. Sign in to your Sqanna dashboard.
2. Open the QR Code you want to update.
3. Select Edit Destination.
4. Enter the new destination.
5. Save your changes.

New visitors will automatically be redirected to the updated destination.

Depending on the QR Code type, you may be able to update:

• Website URL
• Landing page
• Mobile app destination
• PDF
• Campaign page

The QR Code itself never changes.

No.

As long as you continue using the same Smart QR Code, previously printed copies remain valid.

Destination updates are typically available almost immediately.

However, due to browser caching or internet infrastructure, some users may briefly continue seeing the previous destination.

This usually resolves automatically without any action.

Businesses frequently update Smart QR Codes when:

• Changing websites
• Launching new campaigns
• Replacing menus
• Updating documents
• Changing app download links

• Test the updated destination after saving.
• Avoid deleting destinations that are still in use.
• Give QR Codes descriptive names so they're easy to identify later.
