DE Australia - share links - comments from DEA team - adding unique IDs about de-australia-map HOT 3 CLOSED

from @meh9
Looks good to me.

Note that I usually use a random hash instead of your example of "dea_coastlines" above - otherwise when things are renamed people often get the urge to change the id as well, if it's a random hash then they usually leave it alone!

E.g. https://github.com/TerriaJS/aremi-natmap/blob/master/datasources/aremi/custodian/Geoscience_Australia/Bathymetry_Seabed.ejs#L2

That's a good idea! Plus it would avoid needing to come up with/use some kind of consistent naming convention for those fields

More comments on how share keys work:
So... if we kept the “ids” the same as they were originally but made changes to the “share keys”, will that break existing share links?
It might break really old ones. shareKeys should only ever be added to, and as soon as you add an id to that item you no longer need to keep adding to them. You can think of the shareKeys as a list of all the places an item has been before it was given an id.
