Standard vs enhanced image
The image of the QR code comes in two flavors.
Standard
It’s automatically created as soon as a QR-Code is saved.
The image embeds the standard URL, which contains the key of the QR-Code, a parameter that should not change: in fact, changing the key will inevitably modify the QR code image and the value stored in the key column of the logs.
Enhanced
It can be created manually, by clicking a designated button in the QR-Code Editing page, or automatically, by using the image displaying shortcode.
The image embeds a complex (i.e. not easy to read by humans) URL and, contrary to the standard image, it can be regenerated without modifying the key of the QR-Code.
It can be particularly useful when you need to change the QR code image frequently and/or to prevent people to exchange the QR-Code URL each other too easily (e.g. in case of content hiding).
