How Citations Work

Citations appear as small numbered markers (e.g., [1], [2], [3]) within the AI’s response text. Each number corresponds to a specific section of a source document.

Hovering Over a Citation

Hover over any citation number to see a popup preview of the source content — the relevant passage from the original document.
