Tips & Tricks

1. After you add your references you will find that each reference has a unique id of the form citations-<randomId>. Then, you'd need to use this id in any of the links within your article by doing [1](#citations-Mw3R). This will render a link so when you click it, it'll redirect you to the corresponding reference.
