Full and Abbreviated Attributions

Concord enables users to choose whether they would like to include an “abbreviated” or “full” attribution after passages that are copied and pasted from Concord.

An abbreviated attribution includes: abbreviated book title, chapter/page, verse/line.

E.g. (SH 2:23–24)

(Mis. 79:15–17)

(Gen. 1:27)

A full attribution includes: complete book title, author, chapter/page, verse/line.

E.g. (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 2:23–24)

(Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 79:15–17)

(Genesis 1:27)

By default, full attributions will be included after passages copied and pasted from Concord (whether customers are using Concord on a computer, tablet, or smartphone). This will remain as the default until a user makes an alternate selection.

Users can change this default setting (and toggle between them) by following these steps:

1. Log in to your Concord account.

2. On desktop or tablet, click/tap on the “Settings” gear icon located in the gray bar at the top of the program. On a smartphone, tap “More” in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

3. Click on “Book Preferences” on the left side of the settings menu.

4. Under “Attribution” choose either Full or Abbreviated.
