You may be creating an epub, generating an epub2 and then converting to epub3, never releasing the epub2. You probably don't want the uuid you had chosen to be changed.

Sigil's "Metadata Editor" can add a UUID.
But for some reason, it does not show the existing one or allow you to edit it, or enforce its "uniqueness".
You can add a new UUID with this, and epubcheck doesn't complain there are two UUIDs.
I don't know what real-world effect the UUID has.
Before I even knew the UUID existed, I know I created many epubs by cloning an existing one and replacing text. So they would all have the same UUID.
But they all worked and never had any issues.
