APA 7th Edition makes some things easier by needing less information, for example when citing something that has three or more authors you only have to put the first authors name. Another thing that has changed for APA 7th Edition that makes it a little easier is that the location is no longer needed in the references, also "Retrieved from" is no long need unless a retrieval date is needed. One thing that has changed in APA 7th Edition that makes it harder for the writer is that previously only seven authors were need for a references list for a reference that has many references. But now it is required to put 20 authors in the reference list.
