How do I give credit for a piece of work using the Citation block?

The Citation block allows content creators to add properly formatted rights and attribution information to works included in their content. A range of licensing options are supported:

• All Rights Reserved for fully protected works,
• Creative Commons licenses (with all CC variants available) for openly licensed content,
• No Known Restrictions, U.S. Government, and Public Domain for works free of copyright limitations, and
• Other for works that fall outside standard categories.

Each license option automatically pulls in the appropriate license image, where applicable. 

A Custom option is also available, providing a WYSIWYG editor for creators who need to write their own attribution text.
