Every claim carries a numbered citation. Open a source to read the exact passage the answer was drawn from.
Sources and passages
Each claim in an answer ends with a number, and the Sources list under the answer says where each number points. With citations.passage on, every source row is also an accordion: the chevron opens the exact passage the model was given, inline, with no extra request.

Options
| Key | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
citations.passage | false | Adds Show the passage to each source row. The text comes from the turn itself, so opening it costs nothing. |
citations.inCopy | true | Copy answer appends a Sources: heading with absolute Markdown links, so a pasted answer still points home. |
citations.pagesRead | false | When the panel cannot answer, it lists the pages it searched under Searched the docs and read 4 pages. |
What is checked
The sources are not whatever the model claims. Before an answer is shown, the browser compares every citation with the passages it actually retrieved for that turn:
- A citation to a passage that was not retrieved is removed.
- A citation of one of the site's own tools passes the same check, because the browser handed out its id that turn. It shows as Plan limits · from the site, with no link and no passage.
- A link to a page that does not exist on your site is shown as text, not as a link.
- If the model marks itself unsure, the answer says so: The model was unsure of this one — check the sources below.
On a restored conversation, the passage is looked up again by its id. If a rebuild removed it, the row has no chevron instead of a stale passage.
