====== About repeated Info pages: Multiple uses of the same UUID ======
'''Re-using UUIDs within a single Article'''
 
You may re-use an Info page UUID multiple times within an Article; for example, using the same UUID in a footnote citation, an in-text citation, and a bibliography section of the body text. If any instance requires unique content, use a different UUID and copy the relevant form field content. You can link between two Info pages so editors can check related entries together.
 
Note: If the same UUID appears multiple times on an Article page, only the first instance will appear on the All Queries page. (Two separate UUIDs with the same or similar content are a different case—both will appear.)
 
'''How to re-use Info page IDs within a single Article'''
# Open the Info page you want to re-use and copy its UUID (everything after Info: in the URL).
# Open the Article/chapter in “Edit” mode.
# Insert an Info page placeholder in the usual way.
# Click on the pencil icon.
# Click the “Edit” button in the pop-up.
# Replace the UUID in the form.
# Click “Apply changes.”
# Save the page.
'''Don’t re-use UUIDs across multiple Articles or chapters'''
 
We recommend '''not re-using the same UUID across multiple Article pages or chapter subpages'''. Because an individual Info page’s “Return to the Host Page” button links only to the page where the Info page was originally created, it won’t navigate back correctly. (For example, if an Info page is created in Chapter 2 and then re-used in Chapter 3, its “Return to the Host Page” button will always go to Chapter 2, even if it was accessed from Chapter 3.)
 
Instead, create new Info page placeholders with separate UUIDs and copy the relevant form field content into each. You can link between related Info pages so editors can check them together.
