Why is a point flagged as un-cited?
A legal reference with no citation, or one that cites a source we do not recognise, is flagged. Cite it or acknowledge it before you export.
Updated 29 Sept 2026
Why it happens
Every legal reference in a reply must carry a citation before it is sent. When one does not, the editor shows a red Un-cited references banner with the count.
- Legal reference with no citation: the point names a law or case but has no source.
- Citation to an unrecognised source: the point cites something that is not in our checked sources.
How to clear it
- Step 1: Choose Review on the banner. The Un-cited references panel lists each flag.
- Step 2: Use Jump to to see the point in the draft. Fix it, or remove it.
- Step 3: Or choose Acknowledge on each flag, with an optional reason. Acknowledge all clears every flag at once.
Download stays off until every flag is acknowledged.
