There once was a discussion on this topic here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-08/msg00165.html I am a bit worried: So far, I got 125870 manually set ID properties in my Org-mode files. To me, using :ID: was straight forward since I never read about any other ID when I began with Org-mode in 2011. Many features required me to have an :ID: and no feature I stumbled upon required me to have something else as reference: id:this-is-an-id, making references using org-store-link, and so forth. So let's search through the manual: http://orgmode.org/org.html#Internal-links http://orgmode.org/org.html#Handling-links http://orgmode.org/org.html#Search-options Well, either this did not exist in 2011 or I was not paying attention. I never faced any disadvantage, using ID properties instead. Do I really need to migrate and risk broken links? Or is there a safe way to move to CUSTOM_ID? Are there advantages when I switch to CUSTOM_IDs? Do I really have to have a CUSTOM_ID *and* an ID set for being able to reference any heading via human-readable ids *and* features like org-store-link and so on? -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
