Footnotes & endnotes

Drop a numbered note at a point in the text; write its content in a floating editor. Footnotes sit at the page foot, endnotes gather at the end of the document.

1. Place the cursor where the reference should go.
2. Choose Insert ▸ Footnote or Insert ▸ Endnote. A superscript number appears, and the cursor stays in the text so you can keep writing.
3. Click the superscript number to open the note editor beside the page. You can also right-click the number and choose Edit Footnote or Edit Endnote.
4. Type the note. Press Esc or click outside the editor when you're done.

To remove a note, right-click its number and choose Delete Footnote or Delete Endnote.
