Details
Consolidation of citations, headers, and funders looks up these items in CrossRef or another database to fix or enhance information (see https://grobid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Consolidation/). This can slow down conversion. Consolidating headers is only useful for published papers, and can be set to 0 for work in prep.
