1. User survey + New feedback mechanism
We are eager to hear your thoughts on how we can enhance your experience with MAGICapp. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and will be used to help us develop new features and improve existing ones. There are two ways you can share your feedback:
1. We've launched a brief structured survey to share only with newsletter recipients, that will be open for the next 4 weeks = link to the survey here. This would be the best way to share your insights with us, and we would greatly appreciate your participation.
2. We've introduced an option for anyone to send us feedback from our home page, via an open text box. The "Feedback" is in the top right corner, between the "Help" and "Resources" links.

2. New help videos
We're delighted to share that we've added brief tutorial videos on our YouTube channel! These videos provide easy-to-follow guides on our key features, including our new recommendation search. Stay tuned for more tutorial videos and webinars!
3. Automatic re-numbering of references by citation placement

You will find the control in the References tab, under the "Add reference" options menu.

You're done! Your references will now be re-ordered by citation placement.
Important notes:
- citations in PICO summary text are not included in the re-order, as it's order will depend on design options in PDF (e.g. to not include PICOs or put PICOs in an appendix). Different options for PICO summary text will come in a future update.
- Renumbering only applies to references in text - references that are selected in the "References" tab of recommendations and evidence profiles will not be renumbered.
- For citations added before version 11 (released June 2022), you will receive an alert. It tells you to email support@magicevidence.org to update the citations so that the citations can be used.
