# Cleanup entries

JabRef can cleanup the entries of a library. To do a cleanup of the entries, go to **Quality → Cleanup entries**. Then select the actions to be carried out.

![The Cleanup entries dialog](/files/LgotoSfj8OyTtxmTOMp8)

under the table`Enable field formatters`. Then, under the table, you can select using 2 drop-down menus:

* an entry field (upon which the action will be applied).
* the type of action to be carried out (such as HTML to LaTeX, which converts HTML code to LaTeX code, as described in the window).​ See the [list of formatting actions](/v5/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/saveactions.md).

A click on the "circular arrow" icon enables a set of recommended formatting actions (the set of actions will depend on your database type: BibTeX or biblatex).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.jabref.org/v5/finding-sorting-and-cleaning-entries/cleanupentries.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
