# How to change the CrowdNewsroom URL

To customise the URL of a CrowdNewsroom, go to the section *Title and Image* and scroll down to *Perrmalink* 

1. Normally, the URL is automatically generated from the title of the CrowdNewsroom. If you do not want this, deactivate the toggle next to *Auto-generate slug from title*
2. A new window will open, where you can add the customized link. The first part will be set als *<https://your.name/crowdnewsroom/>*
3. You can then adapt the back part of the URL, the so-called slug, by entering the desired slug in the text field. **Important:** Some special characters such as Umlauts ("ä", "ö", "ü", "ß") or punctuation marks such as "?", "/" or "&" do not work here. They are automatically filtered out.

**Important:** Once the CrowdNewsroom has been published, you can no longer change the URL. The slug should therefore be as unique as possible and still easy to identify.
