Step 6: Decide what pop-up message to show

On the right you can decide when you want to be alerted to an alternative location for a full text of the citation. If you uncheck a message, you will no longer be notified.

If you don’t want a generic setting, you can also check the checkbox under Pop-up Preferences. Once you’ve done that, every pop-up will come with a “Don’t show me” option that you can activate at anytime.

If you want to receive previously hidden notifications, go back to the advanced settings. There you’ll find a table with the messages you’ve hidden. Click on the x to activate the message.
