Difference Between UUID and Pure IDDifference Between UUID and Pure ID

What

All records in Pure contains (at least) two IDs: A Pure ID and a UUID.

• The Pure ID, often known as the content ID, is always found in the top left corner
  • Except for Projects, Award and Applications in Reading layout (default) where the ID is in the top right corner.
  • The Pure ID is unique among all content in your specific Pure instance.
    • However, identical Pure IDs can be found in different Pure instances.
• UUID stands for: Universally Unique IDentifier
  • This will always be unique, so not to be found in other Pure instances.
• The UUID is found in the editor window under Display > System info
  • Here you can also find the Pure ID (Internal ID)

Note: It is not possible to change these IDs manually. The IDs will only change when changing template. Read more about this in KB-460: Why are IDs overwritten when changing template?
