What's the best way to save the reference source given by the Agent, when copying/pasting?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

When the agent gives me the respond output, it makes reference to my documents in Read Memory by numbering them. When I then copy paste the output in a word doc, the number footnotes are shown but I have no idea which doc it's referencing. I would need to have this information so that I can use this output offline, without running the agent again. If I run the agent again next week, it will give me slightly different output so that is not viable.

How can i also save the reference sources being used?

@Son - currently there is no good way to extract this from the citation. A current workaround is to instruct the agent to hyperlink the cited documentation to the end of the responses. Let me know if that works for you.

@Son I'm also not quite sure what you mean by saving the reference sources being used. Can you clarify what you're looking to do there? If you want to consistently use the same references, you can tell Glean to only use those sources to generate responses.

Here's what we've done in one of our Agents. At the very bottom of the final response prompt. Note that this is all in markdown syntax, so it renders properly in html. You could format it differently, though.

**CRITICAL INSTRUCTION**:

- list all files in a section labelled "Links to Sources"

- example format:

**Links to Sources**

- [Okta: Profile Overview](https://link.to.article/article) (ref: source 1)

- [Mainframe Password Resets](https://link.to.article/article) (ref: source 2)

- CONTINUE TO LIST ALL LINKS HERE.
