Overview

Do you want to change the pinpoints on your citation? Or perhaps remove the style of cause from a footnote? Once you cite a reference, you can make changes to it at any time! Simply click on the reference to generate the preview in the side panel. There, you'll have a few options to modify how your reference appears and how you want to represent it in the instance you are citing it. This article will explain how to change a reference you have already cited.

Note: if you would like to replace an existing citation with a different case, you can simply delete your citation and reinsert a new one.

Changing the pinpoints in the case text

Edit Citation menu

When you cite or click on an existing citation, you will notice the Cite button disappears. This is because CiteRight can update a reference you've already cited. Simply make your changes in the Edit Citation window and watch them update your citation automatically.

Please note that any changes made in the "Modify Reference" menu (style of cause, short form, hyperlink, case history etc.) will apply to every instance of that source in the document. However, changes in the Edit Citation menu apply only to the particular citation you are inserting or updating (e.g. pinpoints, annotations, suppressing the style of cause).

To further modify a reference cited throughout your document, please see this article.

1. Click Edit Citation.

2. Make changes in the pop up window, then click Save.

Changing the pinpoints in the case text

Rather than typing the pinpoint numbers in the Edit Citation menu, you can also choose a different method of adding and removing pinpoints by clicking directly in the case text!
