Once you have finished inserting citations into your document, click Gather Backmatter in the document palette. Publicon sorts and numbers all references you have cited, then pastes the resulting bibliography at the end of your document. By default, the references are sorted by the order of appearance in the document and the citations in the text are replaced by the serial number of the corresponding reference in the bibliography. You can customize this behavior by editing the style sheet.
If you want to edit a citation after you have already finished the bibliography, click Restore Citations in the document palette. This will convert the citations into hyperlinks that will open the reference editing dialog box. When you are done, click Gather Backmatter to apply your changes.
