Add a footnote to your page to show ancillary information at the bottom of a page.

Footnotes1 can be essential when trying to relay additional information to a user. Most readers will review the footnotes after they read the text from where the footnotes are anchored 2 to more fully understand the content.

Step 1: Create a footnote

  1. Identify the text that you want to add additional information or a citation to.
  2. Add the footnote number at the end of your text.
  3. Highlight the footnote number.
  4. Click Format > Superscript in the editor toolbar.

Step 2: Create the footnote section

To separate the footnote section from the rest of the content:

  1. Navigate to the bottom of the page or content section.
  2. Click Format > Page break to add a horizontal line.
  3. Add your footnote's reference underneath the page break line.
    Make sure to reference the original number of the footnote.

Step 3: Link the footnote and its reference

  1. Highlight the footnote number at the end of your text.
  2. Click the Link button or use Ctrl+K to open the link modal.
  3. Delete all text in the Link to: field.
  4. Click Save Link to create a blank link.
  5. In the editor toolbar, click View > Source.
  6. In the source code, find the<a> tag for the link.
  7. Modify the href property based on your own naming conventions.
    In the example below, fn1 stands for footnote 1.
  8. Add an id to the <a> tag.
  9. The final link should look something like this in Source mode:
    <a href="#fn1" id="rf1" title=""><sup>1</sup></a>
    

1. A footnote is a note placed at the bottom of a page that it is on or cites a reference for a designated part of the text.

2. Often, the most interesting information is found in the footnotes.
