Paths Links and Item IDs

SynckHub supports both human-readable location references and stable object identifiers.

Use path links when humans need location context.

  • easy to share in workflows
  • useful for navigation handoffs
  • still permission-checked at access time

Item IDs

Use item IDs when systems need precise references.

  • stable for support/debugging flows
  • useful in exact retrieval and correlation
  • less ambiguous than human naming patterns

Operational rule

Use path links for people, IDs for systems.

Common mistake

Treating a path link as an access grant. It is not. Access is always enforced by current permissions.
