Why QR codes continue working after URL changes
QR links identify the card independently of its slug.
A stable identifier
The built-in QR route uses the card public identifier rather than relying only on its readable URL slug. Changing the slug therefore does not require replacing that stable QR link.
Availability still matters
The destination must remain available. Archiving or unpublishing a card can stop access. A QR code you created elsewhere from an arbitrary URL is governed by that URL and service, not this guarantee.
