Why do I see 'Undefined citation' warnings in my LaTeX document?
This typically means the citation key in your \cite{key} command does not exist in your .bib file, or BibTeX has not been run after you added the reference. ScholarFlow scans both .tex and .bib files to detect mismatched or missing keys automatically.
How can I fix a missing .bbl file error?
A missing .bbl file occurs when BibTeX has not been run after you added \bibliography{}. The correct compile order is: pdflatex → bibtex → pdflatex → pdflatex. ScholarFlow's integrated build system runs this sequence automatically.
Does ScholarFlow support both BibTeX and biblatex?
Yes, ScholarFlow fully supports both major bibliography packages and automatically detects which one your project uses, applying the appropriate fix for each system.
