 No other plugins can be added in `revealjs_presentation()`. You can open feature request for new plugins or you would need to use a custom template to write your own HTML format including custom plugins.
 
+## Bibliography and Appendix Slides
+
+When you cite with `[@key]` and set a `bibliography:` in the yaml header, pandoc/citeproc generates the reference list **at the very end of the document body**. That is fine when the references are your last content:
+
+```markdown
+# References
+
+## References
+```
+
+If you want slides to follow the references -- typically an appendix with spare slides -- the bibliography would otherwise end up inside your last appendix slide. Place it explicitly with a `::: {#refs}` fenced div, and the appendix forms its own chapter group after the references; navigation and slide numbering keep working:
+
+```markdown
+# References
+
+## References
+
+::: {#refs}
+:::
+
+# Appendix
+
+## Spare slide
+
+- Some backup material
+```
+
+The `{#refs}` placeholder itself does not produce a slide.

 ## Advanced Customization
