# Linking cases

## Linking cases is a feature designed to help you manage situations where multiple cases relate to the same underlying problem. Instead of merging cases, this feature allows you to create a visible connection between them, helping your team maintain clarity while avoiding duplication.

### What you can do

- **Manually link related cases** that are part of the same issue.
- **Maintain separation** between cases - they are *not merged* or combined.
- **Use case IDs** (e.g., `#cd07c`) to search and link relevant cases.
- **View linked cases** directly in the case detail view.

### Who can use it?

Only members with the **"Manage cases"** permission can link cases.

### How linking works

- **Bidirectional connection**: If Case A is linked to Case B, Case B also shows a link to Case A.
- **One-time link**: A specific case can only be linked once to another case - no duplicate links.
- **Multiple links**: One case can be linked to *several* others, enabling flexible network-style relationships.

### Where to find linked cases

All linked cases are displayed in the **case detail** section, so your team members can easily understand connections at a glance.
