The Citations tool allows you to add references to content using MLA (Modern Language Association) or American Psychological Association (APA) style. After creating a citation, you can easily add the formatted citation to a page. 

Note: Customer Admins may select which style they want as the default on the project level. If no style is selected, MLA will be set for the project. Regardless of the default, authors have the ability to switch from MLA to APA citation within the project.
