+
+1. Enable the debug mode to show the Developer menu.
+
+2. Click on View Metadata to open the built-in metadata viewer.
+
+3. If the record doesn't have an XML ID, the Create button will call the
+   same built-in method used during a row export to generate a unique
+   ID.
+
+   *Create a new unique XML ID*
+

+   |image1|
+
+4. If the record is already linked to an XML ID, an Edit button will
+   open a Form to update it.
+
+   *Edit an existing XML ID*
+
