Italic function isn't working
Hi there, for some reason or another, whenever I insert a footnote (in English or in Dutch) the title of the refference doesn't come out in italic. I also am unable to edit this from withing Word. I've tried switching between various citation styles to see if that would fix it, but the issue endures. Could this please be fixed? Thank you kindly.

Folders
Creating, accessing and reallocating Folders and Subfolders is VERY problematic and frustrating, to say the least!
Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Then when you finally organized your subfolders, and ready to import another citation, your subfolders are no longer there!I've about had it with trying.

Está funcionando fatal. La nueva versión no sirve para nada
Subo los textos completos de los artículos y no me los deja ver.
Cuando importas un texto completo tarda muchísimo.
Las carpetas compartidas no funcionan. No sirve para el trabajo en equipo
Las etiquetas no funcionan
Todo el trabajo que pasé, es tiempo perdido...
Por favor, solucionenlo YA1 vote -
APA references for journal articles need correct formatting
It has been brought to my attention when I submit papers using RefWorks APA style that the references for journal articles are incorrect. The title is italicized, the name of the journal is not there but instead the publisher information is there. There is no volume number, issue number, or page number. I am not going to continue to use RefWorks because I do not trust the quality of the citations. I am spending a lot of time correcting it that I will create the reference myself.

The new Add-in app really really sucks! It's terrible
Used Refworks for 8 years, but the new update really really sucks! The add-in app in word jumps to the new and old refworks back and forth

Bring back access code so people w/o RefWorks account can edit
We are happy that public sharing is now available! Except that the option to send an access code so that people without a RefWorks account can edit/make modifications seems to no longer be available. This is something that we used frequently for committee members who don't work here and don't have an account, but still need to collaborate on a document. Please bring back the access code option!

Add customizable BibTex citekey field
The ability to export Bibtex files is a key feature of RefWorks. However, the format of the citekey is terrible - too long and difficult for users to recall. Other reference managers allow customization of this field, and RefWorks should, too.
