How to Change Citation Formats?
Last updated: 2026-03-11·1 min read
Switch between citation formats like APA, MLA, and Chicago from the reference
list or document settings. When you change the format, every citation already
in the document updates automatically to match the new style, so no manual
editing is required.
Where do you change the citation format?
There are two ways to change it:
- From the references list — Click the format settings next to the references list in the editor to change the citation format directly.
- From document settings — You can also change the format from the document settings in the editor's top header.
Do all existing citations update when you change the format?
Yes. When you change the format, every citation in your document is automatically updated to match the selected format. You don't need to manually edit them one by one.
