Turns out the Author features in the video on Hegland’s website are not the features sold in the version on the Mac App Store. Most importantly the major feature for copy text from another source and pasting it as a text citation, or for creating video citations. The developer responded to a query with “This is a feature we had to remove but we are working to bring it back in a more useful way. Please give us one month. :-)” I suppose that’s a fair ask, but one shouldn’t say “out app does blah blah blah” when it doesn’t really do “blah blah blah” or even merely do “blah”.

Other than that, the app for sale today is a kind of RTF editor.
