How to read Mind citations

Citation chips prove where an answer came from — jump to the passage, see a highlight, or copy the quote when the PDF has no text layer.

Before you start

  • Signed in on Hub (hub.flytype.ru/mind).
  • Notebook with at least one Ready source.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Mind → your notebook → Chat and ask a question grounded in your sources.

  2. 2

    When the answer finishes streaming, look for numbered citation chips (for example [1]) next to claims.

  3. 3

    Click a chip (or Open in Sources) to jump: the Sources preview opens and scrolls to the matching passage.

  4. 4

    On text sources, the quote is highlighted. If the file is a scanned PDF or image without a text layer, a soft banner shows the quote so you can verify or Save highlight manually.

  5. 5

    In Studio, flashcards and quizzes remember Got it / Missed between sessions; use Show prompt on an artifact to see the instructions that generated it, then Regenerate for a new version.

Common mistakes

  • No chips usually means the model could not ground the claim — add Ready sources, reprocess failed ones, or narrow the question.
  • PDF highlight needs an extractable text layer; scanned pages stay soft-manual by design.
  • Editing a research report or briefing after generation may show a soft warning if citation markers were removed — verify before trusting the edit.
  • Deep / Overview chat modes retrieve more chunks so long notebooks stay grounded.
  • A timeout banner is a network/idle limit, not missing sources — retry after Ready; the app retries once before streaming starts.
