Research jobs are completed within Wonder’s Research Editor. The Research Editor allows you to add heading/subheadings, bullets, sources/citations, and images/screenshots.
In addition, it automatically saves your work every few minutes.

Add Heading: Use this button or the ctrl+h shortcut to add headings and subheadings.
Add Bullets: Use this button to add bullets, and if needed, sub-bullets.

Insert Citations: Use this button to cite all figures, statistics, quotes, findings, and data points you obtained from an outside source.
Select the words/statistics you want to cite, copy the source website link/URL, click on the citation button in the Research Editor, and paste the link in the citation box that pops up.
If you need to cite a source more than one time, you can select it from the list of existing sources, instead of adding the source again.
👀 Take a look at the video below to understand how to do this.
Note: At the bottom of the Research Editor, there’s an “Add a Source” option to manually add a source or to rename a source (e.g., to change the source name from “Untitled” to a suitable name).

Insert Images: Use this button to add charts, graphs, infographics, screenshots, and other images related to your research findings. Make sure the images you want to add are in one of these formats: .jpg, .png, .jpeg, or .gif.

Spell Check: You can spell-check your work using this button. The built-in spell checker highlights spelling mistakes in your work and allows you to either fix or ignore them (e.g., if a name is mistakenly highlighted as a spelling error).
Bold Font: This tool should be used rarely (e.g., only if you have to organize your calculations without creating headings). Do not use the Bold button or the ctrl+b shortcut to create headings or subheadings as this negatively impacts the formatting of the Research report.
Italic Font: This tool should be rarely used to apply Italic formatting to text.
Hotkeys: Here's a list of hotkeys/keyboard shortcuts you can use in the Research editor:
