# Linked Content Elements

**Linked Content Elements** (implemented via the "Insert Record" or *Datensätze einfügen* feature in TYPO3) allow editors to maintain a single "master" content element that is referenced on multiple different pages.

## Benefits
- **Consistency**: Ensures that critical information (e.g., contact details, legal notices) is identical across all pages.
- **Efficiency**: Updates only need to be made in one central location rather than on every individual page where the content appears.
- **Reduced Error Rate**: Minimizes the risk of outdated information remaining on forgotten sub-pages.
