I just tried to recreate a unique id link from the mailing list and was surprised to find that =C-c l= did not create a unique id automatically.
>From the manual:[1] C-c l (org-store-link) ... If the headline has a CUSTOM_ID property, a link to this custom ID will be stored. In addition or alternatively (depending on the value of org-id-link-to-org-use-id), a globally unique ID property will be created and/or used to construct a link (jwh adding: if org-id is loaded). Here's my min config: #+begin_example (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org/lisp/") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org/contrib/lisp") (require 'org-id) (global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link) (setq org-link-to-org-use-id 'create-if-interactive) #+end_example Starting emacs with =emacs -Q= and then =M-x load-file ~/path/to/min-config= File: #+begin_example * Alcohol^ Something \newpage * Another heading Blah blah blah, see #+end_example With cursor at ^, I do =C-c l= and get this in the mini-buffer: =Stored: Alcohol= When trying to insert with =C-c C-l= I get this auto-completion suggestion: Alcohol <file:~/Desktop/test.org::*Alcohol> Normally that would have a unique-id, not file path/headline. Org mode version 9.0.2 (release_9.0.2-140-g1c8908 @ /home/jwhendy/.elisp/org/lisp/) Is this on my end (settings) or did something change? Doing this definitely used to generate a unique id property drawer under the linked headline and suggest it when going to insert the link elsewhere. Thanks, John [1] http://orgmode.org/manual/Handling-links.html#Handling-links
