View citations

Every chat answer includes numbered citations that point to the exact passages Navigator used. Citations help you verify answers against your source documents.

Inline citation badges​

In the answer text, citation numbers appear as small badges with a colored dot. Click a badge to open the source preview panel on the right side of the screen. The color tells you the source type:

  • Gray - a passage from your study documents
  • Green - PI-verified content a Principal Investigator has confirmed
  • Blue - an external reference, for example a PubMed search result
  • Amber - a governance or regulatory reference (for example [Reg-1])

A badge covering more than one type shows overlapping dots; click it to open the full sources panel instead of a single preview.

Source preview panel​

The preview panel slides in from the right and shows:

  1. Document details - document type and file name
  2. Highlighted excerpt - the relevant passage from the document
  3. Document viewer - for PDF sources, an in-app viewer may scroll to the cited page; other file types show the extracted passage Navigator used

Close the panel with the X button or by clicking outside it on larger screens.

PI-verified citations​
