==== Generate a Table of Contents ====

Select "Show Table of Contents" to add a table of contents, which will be automatically generated from the Headers you have created.

==== Can multiple people edit the Manuscript at once? ====

At this time, only one person can edit the manuscript at a time. If multiple users make edits, their changes may be overwritten. …Don't worry, we plan to support collaborative editing in the future and you can track. [[https://nested-knowledge.nolt.io/109|our progress]]

==== How are edits saved? ====

Manuscript editor saves your work automatically. You can see the last time the Manuscript was saved in the upper right of the page, right next to the "undo" and "redo" buttons:

===== 3. Insert Updatable Tables =====

To insert an updatable table, select the table icon with the plus sign. When the included studies and collected data change, the tables will update accordingly.

This will open a modal where you customize and build your Updatable Table:

{{  :wiki:autolit:4_1.png?nolink&  }}

To build an Updatable Table, select the Table of, Filters, and Columns you desire. This builder functions in the same way that the Custom Table Export does, so for a full review of how each table type works, see instructions [[:wiki:autolit:extraction:export#choose_type_of_table|here]].


==== Reorder Columns ====

As in the Custom Table Exports, if you wish to change the order of columns presented, simply drag and drop the column pills (see [[wiki:autolit:extraction:export#reorder_columns|instructions]]).

==== Add Citation information to Updatable Tables ====

The Updatable Table allows bibliographic fields to be added one-by-one; however, if you want to insert all citation data in one click, select "Bibliographic Data" → "Citation" in the modal:
