| ## 2. Copying IDs | ||
| Every entity on Discord — whether it's a user, a server, or a single message — has a unique ID. Once Developer Mode is active, you can right-click almost anything to retrieve it. IDs are used by bots to identify entities as they don't change - even if the name of the entity has changed. |

Line 16 states "IDs are used by bots to identify entities as they don't change - even if the name of the entity has changed." This should use "they" to refer to IDs, not entities. Consider rewording to: "IDs are used by bots to identify entities because IDs don't change—even if the name of the entity has changed." This makes it clearer that IDs are the unchanging element.

| Jedes Objekt auf Discord — egal ob es sich um einen Nutzer, einen Server oder eine einzelne Nachricht handelt — hat eine eindeutige ID. Sobald der Entwicklermodus aktiv ist, kannst du fast alles rechtsklicken, um sie abzurufen. IDs werden von Bots verwendet, um Objekte zu identifizieren, da sie sich nicht ändern - selbst wenn der Name des Objekts geändert wurde. |

Similar to the English version, line 18 states "IDs werden von Bots verwendet, um Objekte zu identifizieren, da sie sich nicht ändern" where "sie" (they) could ambiguously refer to either IDs or objects. Consider rewording to make it clear that IDs don't change: "IDs werden von Bots verwendet, um Objekte zu identifizieren, da IDs sich nicht ändern—selbst wenn der Name des Objekts geändert wurde."
