The reference editor window was originally designed to enter a new reference by typing. Since you can enter almost all references by Quick Add or Online Search, this feature has become less important. New features have been added to the reference editor for other functions. The most useful new feature is to take notes of a reference. This will be explained in detail in the next chapter, "Taking Notes". To open the reference editor, find the desired reference in the reference list, and double click. Make necessary changes and click "Save and Close" to save changes and go back to the reference list.
Edit a reference in live preview
When you are in a reference list, the selected reference can be displayed in the preview panel. You can set the preview mode to "live" by going to menu command "View | Preview Pane | Live Preview". Under this mode, the text of reference fields can be edited. When you move to another reference in the list, the changes you made will be saved to the database.
