Refresh Reference

The Reference plugin records the remote site and quotes the synopsis of a page on that site.

Use this workflow when the remote page has changed and you as author want a Reference to reflect that change.

# Method

Click the flag of the Reference to open the referred page.

If the referred page is now on a new site you may need to do some searching to find it.

Double-click the Reference to begin editing.

Type Command-M to recall the Factory menu.

Drag the flag from the newly retrieved page to this menu.

# Explanation

The Factory plugin exists to manufacture new plugins. I handles various drops as well as offering a menu of available plugins.

The editing command, Command-M, returns to the Factory without changing the identity of the item edited.

The drag and drop of another page's flag repeats the Reference manufacturing process. This shows up in the Journal as just another edit.
