Common situations

Start from what you need to do

Good for demos and fixtures

Fresh UUID values are useful when you need sample rows, fixture data or repeated placeholders without manual editing.

Multiple values save time

Generating a batch at once is faster than copying one ID repeatedly and then editing it later.

Keep formatting consistent

If your project expects uppercase, lowercase or no hyphens, use those options before you paste the values into code or sheets.
