+Unique channel identifiers
+--------------------------
+
+To simplify integrations with external entities, it is possible to assign a unique numeric identifier
+to a channel. Users can then retrieve the channel reference by using the identifier with
+:c:func:`zbus_chan_from_id`, rather than needing to obtain the reference at compile time with
+:c:macro:`ZBUS_CHAN_DECLARE`. Channels using this feature are declared with
+:c:func:`ZBUS_CHAN_DEFINE_WITH_ID`.
