hi in this video I'm going to be showing
0:03
you on how you can create footnotes in
0:05
conab so this is extremely helpful if
0:07
you want to create a sense of Authority
0:11
or trustworthiness to your viewers of
0:13
the document uh you can provide some
0:15
references or sources where you get the
0:18
content from and it's just a good
0:20
practice in general and it just make
0:21
your document more authoritative and
0:24
more believable now in Cana a footnote
0:27
is actually not a native feature unlike
0:29
in Google Docs or in Microsoft Word cona
0:32
is designed first website but that
0:34
doesn't mean you cannot create a
0:35
footnote in fact there are some
0:38
workarounds that allows you to create
0:40
let's say something similar to a
0:42
footnote so let me show you how you can
0:44
do that well for example I have this
0:47
paragraph and I want to create a
0:49
footnote I want to create a reference or
0:51
where I got this paragraph coming from
0:54
so I'm going to visit text and then I'm
0:57
going to add a simple text box
1:00
and I'm going to use the square bracket
1:04
one and then square bracket close and
1:06
then I'm going to put this right here on
1:09
at the top select it at the top and I
1:11
will make the phone a bit smaller and
1:13
this is usually how uh most documents
1:16
like Wikipedia present the sources and
1:19
then I can basically I can copy this
1:22
again and I I can duplicate now let's
1:26
put it at the very bottom
1:30
and after that you can add some
1:32
references or
1:35
links and yeah this is something that
1:37
you could put at the bottom of the page
1:40
and usually this is not very big so you
1:42
probably want to make it a bit smaller
1:44
like a bit 30% smaller than the whole
1:47
text and also you have the option to
1:49
make the color a bit dimmer uh in this
1:51
case I'm using black background but if I
1:53
change the color of the font to gray now
1:56
it's becoming less visible but it's
1:58
still there of course you cannot you can
2:00
add as many as you like I can add let's
2:02
say
2:03
multiple resources here it's possible if
2:06
you have multiple document sorry
2:08
multiple resources you can definitely
2:10
add that now uh this is for a design
2:13
template but how about a regular
2:16
document in confa well the process is
2:18
more or less the same except maybe we
2:21
have we have a little less flexibility
2:23
so I have this document and if I want to
2:26
add a footnote let's say I want to add a
2:28
cation number like number one I'm going
2:30
to type open square bracket number one
2:34
and then close square bracket now
2:36
usually this number supposed to be
2:38
smaller so I'm going to select that and
2:39
I'm going to make it a bit smaller okay
2:42
I think that's good enough and uh even
2:45
though I wish I could put this likely to
2:47
the top making it to be a super script
2:50
this is not possible at least on the C
2:52
document it is not something that you
2:54
can do unless maybe if you're using some
2:56
third party tool or third party apps
2:58
maybe you can do that but right now we
3:01
cannot really do that so uh after that
3:04
I'm going to add uh some new line here
3:06
at the bottom of the page and I can
3:09
start writing the reference number and
3:12
also the
3:13
reference or links and of course you can
3:17
press shift and enter to add another
3:19
line the process is the same you can add
3:22
as many as you like in in one page it
3:23
would be 5 10 20 uh numbers it's totally
3:28
up to you and yeah that's basically
3:30
uh how you can create foodnotes in cona
3:34
