The extension works well for citations, however is pretty limited and has a number of issues: - It removes formatting (italics, colour) near references - It can be quite slow - It is prone to errors with no explanation why - It is not as versatile as the CWYW functionality in Word Specifically, if you insert a page break in the document, the tool will error and the reference list will not appear at all (though the citation numbers update). There is also no clear way to report issues to the developers for an app that clearly needs user feedback.

I bought the latest Endnote 21, thinking I would be able to use Cite While You Write on Google Doc. 1. My references would randomly disappear from my reference list. 2. Certain in-text citations were created but could not be automatically generated in the reference list. 3. If you have phrases italicized they will be undone. I don't know why. 4. You cannot add any special symbols such as "e.g." or "c.f." before the in-text citations. The plug-in will crash and re-do your citations. If you format them manually, the existing entries will disappear from your reference list. 5. Occasionally the plug-in won't load at all. Extremely buggy and inconsistent.

It messed up my citation order so I had to redo my citations. Also, suddenly froze and showing only white screen. Terrible experience...

Pretty excited to have my endnote references brought to docs (at long last!). Yay for collaboration! Some of the styles need a bit of work as they don't match the spec - probably teething problems for the new platform - but that kind of thing should be caught by the QA team... I think my favourite bit is that if you click a citation it opens endnotes web app and lets to add it to your library.
