Adding a reference to dynamic numbering

[Yael Donnenfeld]

Hi, I have a document that includes a large number of sections that will change over time. I sometimes want to add a reference to a previous section ("as copied in section 5..") but don't want to lock the numbering update every time. It is possible to add the value so that it points to a certain section, but if the number of the section changes, will it also change later? (If I update 5 to be 5.2 then the section I refer to will be automatically updated). Thanks!

Hello @Yael Donnenfeld and welcome to the Community

Yes, it's possible with an app

@Yael Donnenfeld you need to use a paid app, might not be what you want to hear. There are 5 options on the marketplace, @Kristian Klima mentioned a couple of them.

Our app, Numbered Headings by Easy Apps, updates the numbering whenever you re-publish, not the case with all of the apps.
