 * Hi [@ntel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ntel/),
 * Unfortunately we aren’t able to define IDs for Draw Attention images because 
   they are WordPress posts, and WordPress does not allow for ids to be defined 
   on posts.
 * Are you able to share a bit more about what you are looking to accomplish by 
   defining ids? You can also feel free to reach out to our pro support email here:

 * Hi! Thanks for the response.
 * I run a website with many categories and subcategories. Let’s say:
    – Team sports—
   Soccer — Rugby
 * – Solo Sports
    — Tennis — Badminton
 * I have an ID assigned to each subcategories: Soccer is 101, Rugby is 102, Tennis
   is 201, etc. I am making Interactive images for each, would love to assign them
   the same ID so that I’ve no need to reconcile.
 * Is this doable?

 * The Draw Attention IDs are chosen by WordPress itself. We do not control what
   IDs are assigned to each image.
 * WordPress uses the IDs as a unique identifier for posts, pages, categories, users,
   tags, and comments on your site database. WordPress does not allow the modification
   of the IDs since it could cause a conflict in the database.
 * Hope that helps!
