Release Notes 04/04/2023

Version 4.35.2224


Enhanced CSV import functionality 

The enhanced CSV import functionality enables users to map fields to standard or custom library fields, making data entry more efficient and streamlined. Users can also now save their CSV import mapping as a reusable template, simplifying the process for future imports or sharing with colleagues.

 

Library column displayed in search results 

When searching for references, users can now choose to display the column Library, which shows in which library — or libraries — a reference has already been saved in their Papers app. Additionally, users can click on the library link to go directly to the reference inside that library.
