Confluence Cloud: What's the difference between "account-id" and "local-id" for mentioned users?

[Heinrich Ulbricht (WikiTraccs)]

When looking at the Confluence Cloud storage format for pages with @-mentions, I see this:

<ac:link>
   <ri:user ri:account-id="123456:abcb637e-7fae-4194-a2b6-dfabbb4c561d"
ri:local-id="ea4e6b2b-d6ff-4e7a-a860-fbba8f01d84e">
</ac:link>

I assume the account-id is the ID of the mentioned Atlassian account. But what is the local-id value? This seems to be a new addition.

Hi @Heinrich Ulbricht (WikiTraccs) ,

account-id is unique user id cross applications. 

local-id  is the ID generated by ADF (Atlassian Document Format) for a macro node, especially in Forge/Connect macros. it is usally used in a page markup (as in your snenario)

Hope this helps,

Fabio
