Groups

Use Groups to organise your references.

There are two types of Groups:

  • Groups - folders where you can drag and drop references 
  • Smart Groups - are built with search strategies. New references that satisfy the search will be added to the group automatically
     

To add a new group click on Groups and select either:

  • Create Group - Name the group
  • Create Smart Group -  Enter keywords

Groups can be organised under sections by creating a Group.
