While Canva offers a subscription option that allows for what they term “pro” features, the free option will work just fine for this and many other things. Canva is a user-friendly platform and it has all the right features I need to create amazing results.Ĭanva does require you to create a free account in order to use the platform. Once I decided to try using Canva to add citations to my record images, I haven’t looked back. Note: In addition to using the Insert Citation button in the toolbar, you can also add a reference using the Insert > Citation option from the main menu.Genealogy Standard #28 states, “Genealogists attach citations to images and printouts.” This is to ensure that a record will never be without its citation, but what is the best way to do this? I have tried a few different approaches with varying degrees of success, but then I tried Canva, a free online publishing tool that makes it possible to “design anything and publish anywhere.” I had been using Canva for several years to create everything from social media graphics to ancestor collages. If you decline, you can add a bibliography later using the Insert > Bibliography menu option. If this is the first citation you are inserting into this document, Manuscripts asks you if you would like to insert a bibliography section at the end of your document. If you have not specified a style, Manuscripts uses the default style defined in your template.

Manuscripts inserts the citation at your cursor location, using the citation style you have specified. If your reference list is long, you can search for the reference you need using the search bar at the top of the pop-up.If you do not see any references, you need to import or re-import bibliography data from your reference manager. This brings up a list of all imported references. Open the citation tool by clicking the Insert Citation button on the toolbar.Place your cursor where you want your citation to appear.
