 Creating a sidebar is useful to:
 
-- Group multiple **related documents**
+- Group multiple **related documents** into an ordered tree
-- **Display a sidebar** on each of those documents
+- **Display a common sidebar** on each of those documents
 - Provide **paginated navigation**, with next/previous button

+## Passing CSS classes {#passing-css-classes}
+
+To pass CSS classes to a sidebar item, add the optional `className` attribute to any of the items. This is useful to apply visual customizations to specific sidebar items.

 ## Passing custom props {#passing-custom-props}
 
 To pass in custom props to a sidebar item, add the optional `customProps` object to any of the items. This is useful to apply site customizations by swizzling React components rendering sidebar items.

+## Passing a unique key {#passing-custom-props}
+
+Passing a unique `key` attribute can help uniquely identify a sidebar item. Sometimes other attributes (such as `label`) are not enough to distinguish two sidebar items from each other.
+
+```js
+{
+  type: 'category',
+  // highlight-start
+  label: 'API', // You may have multiple categories with this widespread label
+  key: 'api-for-feature-1', // and now, they can be uniquely identified
+  // highlight-end
+};
+```
+
+:::info How is this useful?
+
+Docusaurus only uses the `key` attribute to generate unique i18n translation keys. When a translation key conflict happens ([issue](https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/issues/10913)), Docusaurus will tell you to apply a `key` to distinguish sidebar items.
+
+Alternatively, you may have your own reasons for using the `key` attribute that will be passed to the respective sidebar item React components.

 ## Sidebar Breadcrumbs {#sidebar-breadcrumbs}
 
 By default, breadcrumbs are rendered at the top, using the "sidebar path" of the current page.

-We have introduced three types of item types in the example in the previous section: `doc`, `category`, and `link`, whose usages are fairly intuitive. We will formally introduce their APIs. There's also a fourth type: `autogenerated`, which we will explain in detail later.
+The sidebar supports various item types:
 
 - **[Doc](#sidebar-item-doc)**: link to a doc page, associating it with the sidebar
 - **[Link](#sidebar-item-link)**: link to any internal or external page
 - **[Category](#sidebar-item-category)**: creates a dropdown of sidebar items
 - **[Autogenerated](autogenerated.mdx)**: generate a sidebar slice automatically
 - **[HTML](#sidebar-item-html)**: renders pure HTML in the item's position
-- **[\*Ref](multiple-sidebars.mdx#sidebar-item-ref)**: link to a doc page, without making the item take part in navigation generation
