I notice that in the documentation page about the entry preview setup ([Entry preview setup - JabRef](https://docs.jabref.org/setup/preview)) there is a long list of preview styles in the “Available” window. I only have four in total. How do I add more, where would I put the files?

HI,
those in the screenshot are the [CSL styles](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles) that are included in JabRef. They are shipped with every newer version.
Which version of JabRef do you use?

JabRef 5.3–ArchLinux–1
Linux 5.13.12-arch1-1 amd64
Java 16.0.2
JavaFX 16+8
Probably something to do with the Arch build. I’ll look into it - unless you know about the issue?

If you are building from source, you might need to copy the csl files first to the resources folder:
```auto
cp buildres/csl/csl-locales/* src/main/resources/csl-locales/
cp buildres/csl/csl-locales/* src/main/resources/csl-locales/
```
To fasten build time for local development, we just use a few sample csl styles and copy the rest before the build process.

Ah! I’ll pass that on to the package maintainer.
