    Node-groups can be “linked” as well as “appended.”

    A node group (whether linked or appended or made from scratch) can serve in-effect as a very powerful “macro.” Once you have defined it, you can treat it as a single, custom-built node.

    I have found that, the more intensely you embrace this concept of “re-using (via linking) something that is defined just once,” the more visually consistent your finished works will be. The human eye has an amazing, and sometimes quite annoying ;-) ability to spot that “something doesn’t look quite right,” and this often turns out to be: inconsistency. Given that two shots which are cut-together side by side might have been produced many weeks apart, this can become a real data management issue… which linking elegantly solves.
