This field is excellent for series of articles, which you publish from time to time. Once a month for example. But you do not want people to miss other parts.

Say you release Article part 1, in one week you release Article part 2 and set Article part 1 as related. So does not matter what article user reads, one will be suggested to read another part. In one week you release Article part 3. Cool thing that if you set part 1 and part 2 articles as suggested, you wills see that suggestion everywhere. Right, because of both side connection, you do not need to edit article 1 and 2 and add just submitted article as another suggested part. This field will understand it and show 3 as suggested in article 1 and 2 and vise verse.
