What is the finalize Manuscript? Can references be modified after the finalize Manuscript?

Finalizing a manuscript involves removing all IvyCite controls and converts it into regular text.

Key differences between Word and WPS are outlined below:

  • In Word, finalizing the manuscript allows for reactivation of controls if a new reference is inserted anywhere. This means the finalization process is reversible.
  • In WPS, once finalized, all controls become regular text, preventing further reference insertion or edits. Users must modify a backup file for any changes. WPS automatically creates a backup when finalizing.

Finalize only when submitting to a journal; not required during discussions or revisions with advisors. Additionally, WPS documents can be edited in Word.
