Overview
Citoid is a service that automatically creates a citation template given a URL, DOI, ISBN, PMID, PMCID or QID. It has a companion extension, Citoid, which makes use of VisualEditor's Citation Tool to provide the citoid service to VisualEditor.

This guide will cover how to use Citoid in VisualEditor to:


 * Add a new reference.
 * Edit an existing reference.
 * Re-use an existing reference.
 * Manually edit a template-built footnote.

Add a new reference
Click on the "Cite" button in the toolbar. This will open a dialog box with three tabs: Automatic, Manual, and Re-use.

Manual
There are two types of footnotes that can be added from the Manual tab - using a standard template, or using the basic template.
