What is the difference between a node id and a content id?

A node id identifies a position in the knowledge base tree, either a document or a folder. Every tool that organizes the tree speaks node ids: list, move, rename, tag, delete.

A content id comes back on search results and identifies the compiled content you can cite in an answer.

Passing one where the other is expected is the most common integration mistake.
