Select Sign in to log in with your Mendeley credentials.
Go to the tab Citation Style to choose a style. Click Change citation style. We recommend using Cite Them Right 12th Edition - Harvard. You can use it, even though it differs from Haaga-Helia's reporting guidelines. If Cite Them Right is not listed, click Search for another style.
Citation style selection is document-specific. You need to check and select citation style for each Word document.

Open Mendeley Cite by clicking the red Mendeley Cite button. Mendeley Cite window opens to the right side of your screen. Under References, select the correct Collection and reference, see image below. Select Insert citation. N.B.! Do not use the referencing tools built into the menu in Word! Always use the Mendeley Cite add-in.
If you want to add a citation with multiple references, select all the references and then click the Insert citation button.
If you have already added several citations to your text in Word, highlight the references and select More, then Merge Citations.
If you need to edit a citation click the reference in question in your text. After this you will see the reference in Mendeley site add-in and you can choose it by clicking it.
Add page numbers by selecting Page in the drop-down menu. Type the page numbers. If a full stop is needed for the citation, add it to the Page field after page numbers. To hide author's name in citation, check Suppress author. This will create a citation like this: ...according to Baum (2019)...
In-text references are different when referring to a single sentence and when referring to multiple sentences (see instructions). If a full stop inside brackets is needed for the citation, add it to the Suffix field (see image below).
Full stop outside brackets is added in Word in a normal way, just like any other full stop.
You can delete a reference just like you normally delete any text in Word.

When you want to add a bibliography to your text, first make sure the cursor is where you want to insert the bibliography. In Mendeley Cite, click the three dots.
Then select Insert Bibliography.
Mendeley reminds you of the fact that the bibliography is inserted where you cursor is located in your document. Finally, click OK.
Generally, you should edit references in your Mendeley account and not in Word. This way you edit both in-text references and references in bibliography. To update edits in Mendeley Cite, select More > Update from library.
If you want to edit the bibliography in Word:
Add hyperlinks to web addresses in your bibliography, to make your report meet accessibility requirements. You do not need to make any other edits to references, even though the format differs from Haaga-Helia's referencing style regarding italics, punctuation, order etc.
The bibliography is updated automatically whenever you add or delete references or edit them. If you for some reason wish to delete the bibliography, do so by clicking the bibliography. A frame with three dots appear around the bibliography. When you click the three dots on the upper left corner, the whole bibliography will be selected. Now you can delete it as you would any text in Word.
It's possible to copy a separate bibliography directly from your Mendeley account.
