General
Citavi uses your name and initials exclusively for logging changes to projects, and for printing various lists. This helps you organize your work and is useful if you work in a team or share bibliographic information with others. The User name is used to identify the initials used throughout Citavi. Citavi automatically generates Initials from the first and last name of the user name. If you work in a team, make sure the initials are unique.

When formatting a publication, Citavi searches a document for placeholders (text in braces). If there is a sequence number within the braces (for example, #134) Citavi can positively identify the reference. If there is no sequence number, Citavi will attempt to identify the reference by author and year. This option should usually be turned on. You should turn off this option if you are working with multiple Citavi projects where the same references likely have different sequence numbers.

The \cite command is used by LaTeX to insert a BibTeX citation. If necessary, you can enter multiple commands here for quick access in the Publication Assistant. For example, for the natbib package, enter: \citet; \citep; \citealt.

The "quote" command is used by LaTeX to insert a quotation. Replace quote with quotation to indent the first line of the quotation. If the quotation is a poem, replace quote with verse to preserve line breaks. If necessary, you can enter multiple commands here for quick access in the Publication Assistant. Separate the commands with semicolons. quote; quotation; verse.
