Migrating References

When you upload a new version of content that already has references, you can copy them to the new version. The work of linking each claim to its source is kept.

Copying references to a new version

1. Open the draft, click the three dots at the top right of the page and choose Upload new version.

2. Choose the new file.

3. Switch on Copy references to new version. The number beside it is how many references will be copied. The option only appears when the content has references.

4. Click Next and finish the upload.

5. When the new version opens, a Migration Complete message confirms that the references were copied. Click OK.

Check the copied references

Copied references keep the same position on the page that they had in the previous version. If text moved in the new version, a reference may no longer sit over the words it supports.

After the upload, open References in the side panel and click through each one to check it. If one is in the wrong place, delete it and create it again on the right text. The citation in the reference document is kept, so you only need to link to it again.

Good to know

• When you save a new version from Papercurve Office, references are copied for you.
• Unresolved comments can be copied in the same step. See Editing and Migrating Comments.
