About this block

Citations Panel is the sources side panel the assistant opens after a reply. Four ruled rows numbered [1] to [4]: Q2 Renewals Export, Support Ticket Index, ACM-8812 Billing discrepancy, and ACM-9041 Export timeout. Each row shows the document name in monospace, the matched passage in a blockquote, and a relevance chip, High for the first two and Medium for the tickets. The footer is precise: citations are the exact passages the answer drew from, not a reading list, and if a passage contradicts the answer the answer is wrong.

Sources is one array; the relevanceVariant helper maps High to secondary and anything else to outline. Quoting the actual matched snippet is what lets a sceptical user cross-check the answer without opening the source.

When to use

Reach for this block in a side drawer or below the conversation thread whenever the assistant reply cites sources. Wire source ids to the inline chips in the assistant chat panel so numbering stays in sync.

A natural flow around it on an Application Pro page:

Before

• Assistant chat panel

After

• Prompt composer

What you can display

One strong use is the grounded AI reply evidence panel. Other citation shapes:

• Legal document review. Clause references with page numbers, the matched text, and a confidence chip.
• Research summary. Academic sources with author, year, and the sentence that supports the claim.
• Audit trail. Policy document rows with the rule ID and the exact text the system applied.

Tip: number citations from 1 in the order they appear in the reply; gaps or reordering erode trust fast.
