+=== Other 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). After you make a manual edit, Zotero will ask you to confirm that you want to keep the edit and prevent the citation from being updated automatically going forward. It may be preferable to instead make notes 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.
+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. If a style is updated, your document will automatically update to reflect any changes the next time you refresh the document.
