Place your cursor where you wish to insert the dynamic label.
This may be in the caption field provided for standalone equations and chemistry as well as for images, in line with in-line equations and chemistry, in the first row of a table, an empty line before or after the object to be labeled, etc.
Type a slash character ("/") to open the slash menu options and select the desired option
OR
Open the Specification menu and select the desired option in the Insert > Label menu
If you want to use a label that is not provided in the default list, click the New option available in the slash menu and under the Specification menu and enter your desired text to create a label of a new, custom label type
Note that your new label type will appear in the Label dropdown for future use. To remove a custom type from your application, delete all labels that use it.
Begin typing the text to reference your label wherever you wish to refer to your labeled object. Either finish typing and press space or select the desired reference from the dropdown menu presented.
Note that reference text always matches the label text, but the label itself, which provides the source data for references, includes a dark outline to differentiate it.
Add, remove, and reorder labeled objects as you like and we will update label and reference numbers to match the order the labels appear in the spec, according to their type (i.e., "Equation," "Image," "Table," and the text of any new custom labels you create).
Label and number equations, tables, etc., and refer to them by number. We'll take care of numbering on reorder so you don't have to.
