Hey everyone! The latest update address these feedbacks, kindly let us know how you feel about the UX.

Thanks!

With the old UX I was able to select some text, click the popup toolbar “#” button, select a rem and it would be inserted as a reference.

I guess, I can do the same thing by copying the selected text, using the new link button, pasting it in, and converting the link to a reference, but it is a bit cumbersome.

Is there a new way to create references from existing text?

Totally agreed it’s cumbersome. I also raised this in Hyperlink vs rem reference.
