Using intersheet references

Intersheet references indicate the source and destination of schematic page and schematic signals in your design, making it easier to trace signals and find errors in the electrical connectivity of your design. Compare this to off-page connectors, which are used for signals between schematic pages within the same schematic, or hierarchical ports, which are used for signals between schematics.
An intersheet reference for an input signal indicates all the schematic pages from which the signal originates; an intersheet reference for an output signal indicates all the schematic pages to which the signal travels.
For example, an output hierarchical port with intersheet references 35, 42, and 61 indicate that the signal goes to schematic pages 35, 42, and 61.
