Use label references to meet EDGAR XBRL Guide requirements and sync preferred labels to the line items in your document.
Label reference basics
Label references link line items in the document to their concepts in the XBRL outline. The link creates a preferred label in the XBRL outline and keeps it in sync with the line item in the document. Any time you change the line item in the document, the label reference automatically updates the preferred label for that concept in the XBRL outline.
Create label references to meet the EDGAR Filing Manual requirement to match labels in the XBRL outline to their corresponding line items in the document.
