### Inserting citations

The **autocomplete** feature lets you easily search and reference your Zotero items while you're writing in Roam:

![Here, '@' is used as trigger to search for items. You can customize how the items appear in the list, as well as the format in which they're inserted into the block, in your user settings.](https://1688580044-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fqer7zAimwIFIF4Gs9aad%2Fuploads%2FfHKQqWdCxIguYrBC8Ycp%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3a2883ac-119a-4dc7-8df7-4e3df05a9e9d)
