Change Your Default Paper Format in PERRLA

You can set the default format for papers and references in PERRLA. Your default format affects three things:

• The default format selected when creating new papers
• How references are displayed in your PERRLA Reference Library outside of papers
• How references are displayed in PERRLA's Google Chrome Extension

How to change your default format

The default format is APA 7. You can change it to MLA 9 or Turabian 9 (footnotes version). Here's how:

1. Open Settings in PERRLA.
   See How to Access PERRLA Settings if you need help finding it.
2. Under Profile, select your Preferred Format from the dropdown. 
3. Click Save changes.
