# generate guid

This block is part of the [`value`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value) group and was last modified in core [`v14.0.4`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/140004).

Generates a unique GUID. When a seed is provided, the GUID is deterministic (same seed always produces the same GUID). Use this with the `custom GUID seed` pin on document create to look up documents by a known key.
