Citations
Show your work when it matters; keep it minimal when it doesn’t.
What it is
Citations control whether replies display the sources (items from your Mind) that informed the answer. When enabled, users can see which documents, links, or media were used.
Where: Profile → Mind Settings (scroll down) → Citations or Mind → Settings (top right)
When to show citations
Build trust for research, compliance, or policy‑sensitive topics.
Verify claims and let users dig deeper (open the original).
Drive discovery of your other content (e.g., YouTube, podcasts, PDFs, blogs).
When to hide citations
Minimal UI: Keep the chat clean and focused.
Sensitive sources: Avoid exposing internal docs or private notes. (Use Viewership controls in Mind to restrict access.)
Quick Start (30 seconds)
Open Citations in Mind Settings.
Choose Show or Hide as your default.
(Optional) Set Citation URL override on a file if you prefer a different link than the original.
Preview a few answers and confirm the experience fits your audience.
Best practices
Match risk to visibility: Show citations for high‑stakes claims; hide for marketing copy.
Label clearly: Use descriptive titles so users know what they’re opening.
Protect sensitive items: Keep private sources out of Public Viewership; hide citations if needed.
Use URL overrides to point to official or public versions of a source.
Recency bias (Always on)
When sources overlap, Delphi favors newer content. Keep Published Date accurate on every source so freshness guidance works as intended.
FAQs
What if multiple sources informed an answer? Delphi may cite more than one. Order typically reflects contribution and relevance.
Can I hide specific sources but still show others? Use Viewership to keep private items restricted; you can keep citations on for public items.
What’s a Citation URL override? A per‑file setting to replace the default link (e.g., swap a Google Doc link for your public blog post).
Do citations appear in voice replies? They’re available in the chat UI; voice can reference that sources are shown in the transcript.
Broken link? Update the file’s URL (or override) in Mind, then re‑preview.
