Amazing improvement! Thank you! I suggest we run internal feedback loop now, collect comments from others and then incorporate that with my comments in one go.

How about making this shorter? Something like
| { text: 'How to Open a Link to a Navigation App', link: '/layer/link-to-navigation/' }, | |
| { text: 'How to Open a Navigation App', link: '/layer/link-to-navigation/' }, |

I think we wanted to put photos higher in the list and relations lower
|

| Therefore, **we strongly recommend creating a new field for primary keys and using UUIDs generated by the `uuid()` function when a feature is created [as described below](#generating-unique-ids-uuid)**. UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) ensures that the primary keys are unique even after synchronisation and that the correct features are linked. | ||

How about

| ## Setup overview |
| 1. [Create unique UUID field](#generating-unique-ids-uuid) for your referenced (parent) layer and a field for storing foreign keys in the referencing (child) layer | ||
| 3. Define the relation in [Project Properties](#setting-up-relation-in-qgis) | ||
| 4. [Configure Attributes forms](#attributes-forms-configuration-for-1-n-relations) of both layers as needed | ||

I'd add a sentence that explains that we are going to talk about these now

It feels too much to have two tips for public projects this close. Can we choose only one of them?

It could also include the common issue "why do I not see my relations in the form?" -> in drag&drop designer you need to manually move the relation into the form.

| Selecting values from a drop-down menu is faster than typing them in manually and it also ensures that there are no typos or spelling variations. Additionally, it is possible to create [drill-down (cascade) forms](#drill-down-forms), where a value selected in one field can affect the options available in another field. | ||

In the future I can imagine some GIFs here to showcase the drill-down functionality 🤔

I am bit afraid this rich article will be skipped by people clicking on the arrow icon to expand the menu instead of clicking on the entry. Let's analyse that afterwards.
Redirects fail as src/field/photo-sketching/index.md was added to the main in the meantime.
Broken links fail due to 403 wiki.
