Why Full text & Export matters
The content was prepared in the previous steps. In Full text & Export you combine the text with the formal settings and create the files that you can then download.
The preview may differ from the final exported document. If you change citation options or formatting, the newly generated export file is what counts in the end.
Set citation options carefully
In Citation options, you define which style your sources follow in the text and in the references. Pay particular attention to whether the required university or department style is selected.
Citation style
Search citation style
Use the search field if you know the name of the required citation style. For example, you can search for APA, Harvard, Chicago or German citation style.
Filter by citation logic
If you do not know the exact name, filter by Author-date, Numeric or Footnote. This helps you find the right style family faster.
Advanced citation options for footnote styles
Also review the options Page numbers in in-text citations and Add cf. to paraphrases. These settings visibly change how sources later appear in the text.
Options around footnotes or footnote size are only relevant and visible when the selected citation style works with footnotes.
Set document layout
In Document layout, you set the formal appearance of the export file: font, font size, line spacing, margins and, for footnote styles, footnote size.

Font and line spacing
Follow your university's requirements as closely as possible. Font, font size and line spacing have a particularly strong effect on page count and readability.
Margins
For standard cases, you can use Standard, Narrow or Wide. If your university specifies exact values, choose Custom and enter the desired margins.
Cover sheet data such as title, name, university, degree program, paper type or submission date comes from Settings. In Full text & Export, you mainly review layout and output format and adjust them if needed.
Whether an abstract is included in the main export also depends on your entries in Settings. You will always find an abstract of your paper in Bonus downloads.
Create and download export
If you changed citation options or formatting, click Create export at the bottom right. Only then are the files generated with the new settings. The normal Save button does not replace this export.
