However, as soon you or someone else edits the local copy of a Google Document any subsequent changes you make to the original copy in your library will not update (and thus overwrite) the local changes.Īlso, changes made to the local copy by yourself or a collaborator will never propagate back to your library. This copy will be updated if you update the original copy in your library. Note: Citing a document from your personal Paperpile library will create a local copy specific to the Google Document. For anyone not using Paperpile, citations and bibliography items will appear as a link to a page where you can edit or update the data for a given item. If you share the document with collaborators using Paperpile, they will be able to add new citations and reformat the document without trouble. Just click the Share button in the upper-right corner of the screen and choose who to share your document with. You can edit a Paperpile-enhanced Google document with any number of collaborators, whether or not they already use Paperpile.

You can then select this style in your Google document as described before.

If you have created your own CSL style, download the CSL file to your computer and upload it to Paperpile in Settings > Citation styles. This free web-tool allows you to find styles and to modify existing styles to your needs. In both cases you can use the citation style editor available at. If you can't find your style you have two options: (i) find an identical or very similar style or (ii) create your own style.

Click Update to update the citation style and reformat the document to see the changes. Search for the journal or publisher whose style you would like to use, and a preview will show in the bottom of the window.
