add display scopes to the dropdown in all citation style list
In 'All styles' page, only 17 citations are displayed and the user has to click page number to look through all styles list.
Path: 'Create Bibliography' > 'Citation Style Editor'
Please add display scopes to the dropdown same as the one in display option(references per page) from main page.
For example,
scale 25 to 1000 citation styles per page.13 votes -
Make the PDF reader open in a new tab
When reading a PDF from a reference, the reference list becomes unavailable. It would be good to be able to continue to consult the reference list while a PDF is open.
Also, when we click back from the PDF reader, we get taken back to the default/start view rather than where we were when we clicked on the PDF link, which means we need to navigate/scroll around to pick up where we left off.

Make save button more prominent
It would be great if the save button on the reference information editing screen was more prominent. For example, it could be a different color, like blue. Right now it is hard to find and I accidentally click the x button at the top instead, which means I lose my work. You could also add a window that asks if you want to save when you click the x button. Thank you.

Reading and highlighting/annotating- it is so clunky. Please make it smoother and more flexible.
The highlighting gets corrupted when one zooms in or out. Also, it doesn't seem possible to change the color of highlighting default. I find the default gold hard to see. I also like to color code, and it is too high maintenance to have to change after each highlight.

Link to pubmed
The old RefWorks version had an option to open the reference in pubmed, that option is not there with the updated ProQuest version? I need to use the update view since google docs and word docs do not link to the old version. I would like a link so I can directly open a reference in pubmed again, please.
