How do I remove the Mendeley code from a document?

Last updated on May 01, 2025

Before finishing a document, you can remove the Mendeley fields by "flattening" the document.

How

Click 'Export' in the Mendeley Citation plugin toolbar. By selecting this option, Mendeley will:

  • Remove the code that powers the Mendeley Fields.
  • Convert the entire document to plain text.
  • No longer automatically update your bibliography to include new references, so make sure you're totally happy with your references before undertaking this step.
