When you see ?? where a number should be (or [?] for a citation), a cross-reference is unresolved. It is almost always one of: too few compile passes, a missing or misspelled \label, or a \label in the wrong place. Duplicate labels raise a separate warning.
What ?? means
\ref / \pageref read the .aux written by the previous run, so on the first pass (or right after adding a label) the value is unknown and prints ??, with the log saying “Rerun to get cross-references right.” \cite shows [?] the same way. The fix is to compile again — twice in total (latexmk and other build tools do this automatically). If ?? survives two passes, the label is genuinely missing.
Label not found
- There is no
\label{x}matching\ref{x}, or it is misspelled. - In floats, put
\labelright after\caption(inside the float) — before or outside, it grabs the wrong number (e.g. the section). - A citation stuck at
[?]→ runbibtex/biberand recompile, or the key is missing from the.bib. - Use consistent label prefixes (
fig:,sec:,eq:) to keep them organized and searchable.

LaTeX Warning: Label 'x' multiply defined means the same \label{x} appears twice, making references ambiguous. Make labels unique (with prefixes or distinct names). The usual cause is a label duplicated by copy-paste.
