Cross-references(internal references)
\label{key-string} assigns the key key-string to the current element of the
document \ref{key-string}
inserts a string identifying the element to which key-string refers
\pageref{key-string} inserts the page number on which the element
referenced by key-string appears

LaTeX files useful for group work (many authors)
\input{LaTeX-file} used to include other Latex files Latex filename is latex-file.tex
