A topic gives readers a suggested order. A reference book organizes entries into chapters. Both reuse the original content IDs.

Use a link such as [First article](content:first-note) when the target exists. An article keeps its URL if its ID stays the same. Attachments use relative paths, so review those links after moving files.
