When you first open your NoodleTools project you will be a a page that give you options for managing your project, such as creating a research question, thesis statement, and creating a "to do" list. This is also where you can share your project with other classmates or your instructor (if your instructor has enabled a class dropbox in NoodleTools). These are features available for you to use if that helps to keep your research project organized.
This screen also allows you to add sources you are using in your research project. To add a source to your NoodleTools project click on New Source in the upper right of the screen.

Once you have your citations created, you will see them appear in your Project folder. They will appear in alphabetical order (as shown in the image below), and even after you have created them, you have the option to go back and edit them. You can also delete them, and using the tools under "options" you can also see what the parenthetical, or in-text, citation will look like for that source.
