 You can switch to the [[/support/word_processor_plugin_usage_classic | "Classic View"]] citation dialog by clicking the "Z" icon on the left side of the Citation box, and selecting "Classic View". To permanently switch to the classic view check the "Use classic Add Citation view" checkbox in the [[preferences/cite|Cite]] pane of Zotero [[preferences]].
+=== Further Changes ===
+If your citation still isn't displaying the way you want, you can edit the citation directly in your document, but note that doing so will prevent Zotero from being able to automatically update the citation to reflect other changes in the document (e.g., for 'ibid.' or given name disambiguation). It may be preferable to make a note in the text of changes you want to make, wait until you're ready to submit the document, and make the changes in a copy of the document after using Unlink Citations to turn the citations into flat text.
+If you believe there's an error in a citation style, post to the Zotero Forums so that we can investigate and, if necessary, correct the style.
