DITA ID Validation When Opening a Document with a Duplicate ID

Your document may have duplicate DITA IDs in the following cases:

If there is a duplicate ID in the opened document, validation mode switches from Strict to On, and a message reporting the duplicate ID appears.

Figure 1. Serna reports a duplicate ID.



Note:

You can click the message to call up the Attributes Dialog and correct the duplicate ID.

Figure 2. Correct the DITA ID in the Attributes dialog.



Important:

To enable the validation of DITA IDs within a map, you must first specify the ID value of the map itself.
