Improvement

Citations you can click, and a calmer toolbar

Click any citation once to open its options, remove a reference without hunting for it, and find the writing tools where you expect them.

Two small frictions in the manuscript editor, both fixed.

Citations answer the first click

Clicking an in-text citation or a full reference now opens its options straight away, rather than taking a second try.

References have their own menu too: open the source, or remove it. From any citation in your text you can still jump straight down to its full reference.

Removing a reference asks what you mean when the source is cited in your writing: take out just the reference, or the in-text citations along with it. A citation that covers several sources keeps the others. Either way, one undo brings everything back.

The toolbar, in two rows

The writing tools now sit in two rows: everything that shapes the text you have, then everything that puts something new in the page. The checks along the bottom are unchanged.

On a phone or tablet every button is bigger and better spaced, so the toolbar is comfortable under a thumb.

Updates land when you close the notice

When a new version of Alfred is ready, closing that notice now brings you the update rather than only hiding the message. If a manuscript is open, your writing is saved before the page refreshes.
