Inventory endnotes before updating a research report

A report update can accidentally leave source notes referring to removed material. An endnote inventory helps a reviewer locate references that need attention.

Decide what success means

Look for obsolete references and duplicated source explanations. Text extraction is an inventory aid; it cannot establish whether a citation supports a claim.

Prepare and run

Run the read command on the exact file under review, then compare the notes with the report’s current sections and source list.

These examples use local sample filenames. Substitute your own paths and check jetformat word endnotes --help against the installed version before running the task. Put paths containing spaces inside quotes.

jetformat word endnotes report.docx

The command lists body endnotes and excludes separator records. Use it to collect supporting material that may not appear in a plain body-text review.

Inspect the saved result

Compare the returned note text with the expected citations; absence of notes is different from a parsing failure.

Scope and repeatability

This is a free utility or read operation. It does not need a paid conversion to inspect the result.

Run jetformat word endnotes --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the word command reference for the surrounding workflow.

Keep the input revision with the result so a later reviewer can reproduce the decision. For a write operation, choose a new output path first; use overwrite flags only when replacing a previously reviewed result is intentional.
