How to make in-text page number retroactively update? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
How to reference the page of a figure?
2 answers
It would be useful to have a page number like (see page # for more details) that is tied to a specific section or figure, and as a consequence, automatically updates the text to say where that page # of that section or figure is if a change pushes it to a new page. Can this be done?

The magic command you are looking for is pageref{<label>}.
A short example:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{lipsum}% <- only for random text in the example
begin{document}
pageref{foo}
lipsum
section{title}
label{foo}
end{document}
Or you could use the cleveref package which will not only insert the pagenumber but also automatically add the word "page" in front of it:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{lipsum}
usepackage{cleveref}
begin{document}
cpageref{foo}
lipsum
section{title}
label{foo}
end{document}

In a later section of the paper, I put " label{test} ". Then, I went back the paragraph I wanted to reference that section and put " pageref{test} " but all it produced was ??. Also, what if I don't want the word "page"?
