Hi Amit, Let me clarify this for you. You can consider the shared set as a list of keywords. Instead of adding the individual keywords as criterion, you can just attach the list as the criterion to campaign or ad group. The ids of criterion alone are not globally unique, but the combination of the shared set id and the keyword id will be globally unique. This means that the keyword exist in the shared set and the concept of adding the same keyword with same id to a different set is ideally creating a new keyword in the second set. You might have seen that the adding keyword with same text is creating a keyword with same Id. This does not mean that the keywords are same. Also, there is no guarantee that the keywords will always have the same id. You can observe the same behavior while adding a keyword in the ad group too. To summarize, If you need the keyword with same text in a different shared set, you have to create it again in the second set and use the *ADD* operator. The new keyword will need to be referenced with the *combination of the criterion id and the shared set id *to uniquely identify it.
Hope this clarifies your question.
