External sources

What it does

Nexus keeps a list of credible outside sources each client can cite (research, industry associations, trade press, government data), rated by authority and freshness. Articles cite from that list; competitors are never cited.

Set it up

• "Research external sources for them." Runs in the background and posts the result to the thread.
• Add one you trust: "Add this source: https://www.example.org/report."

Check and curate

• "How healthy is the external link inventory?"
• Block or prefer one: "Blacklist example.net as a source." or "Mark example.org as trusted."
• Open the link inventory to see which pieces cite each source.

Troubleshooting

• Research found sources but kept few. Most results were company sites, which are never cited. The result says why each was dropped.
• Citations look made up. Live search may be down: "Check the content link search."
