My university requires all DOIs or urls to be active hyperlinks- is there a way to have PP do this automatically? It can be really frustrating when updating a source that all the links I manually had to add disappear

Thanks for flagging this, @Christian_Brielmaier. Clickable links in Word bibliographies aren’t supported yet (they do work in Google Docs). If you need hyperlinks in Word, the best workaround is to add them manually **after** you’re completely done with citation updates, otherwise Paperpile will overwrite the changes.
