Where in the heck is my RefWorks button or where do I find it now that it is installed? Where are my directions for using this?
Here is an idea! Tell me how to find the RefWorks in MS Word after I install it! Where the heck is it! Where is the guidance on how to use it in Word? Come on guys, have a real user help you with this - I was supposed to be happily on my way using this tool to crank out my annotated bibliographies but I am spending valuable time to try and find how to use it. Really!?

Is there a way to configure the default view when opening Refworks to have the option to choose the menu from the sidebar?
Is there a way to configure the default view when opening Refworks to have the option to choose the menu from the sidebar?
Hence, when a user logs into their account - have the center display empty and have the use choose from the left column default options.
When our users log in - sometimes they get confused as to what they are looking at in the center area that currenlty defaults to 'all documents'
Would like to have the center blank and have use choose what they want to see..1 voteThank you for your valuable feedback. We won't be able to address this idea in our planned roadmap. We are committed to our users and are focusing on current goals and most requested features.

Citation Style Editor: customize fields more
In an output-style the field Publish year (date) is listed twice in one reference type. Behind the Short title and behind Place of Publication. The first time it is mentioned, it should end with a parenthesis. The second time not. But it is not possible to define different settings. I think it should be possible to differ. My suggestion is: It should be possible to choose a field, make a copy and give it a new name, for example "Publication date with parenthesis". Then I can edit the field independent from the other field "Publication date".

Rotation feature
There doesn't appear to be a feature that allows users to rotate documents if they need to be viewed in landscape.
Additionally, the highlight feature is not always usable. It would be helpful if the highlight feature worked similar to how it does in Adobe Acrobat--if the document is scanned, the highlight feature works like a marker (you "draw" the highlighting on). If the doc is simply a converted file or from the internet, the highlight feature
highlights word by word.1 vote -

Have the update notifications give details on compatibility
I keep getting popups asking me to update on both computers but haven't done so because the last update was actually not compatible with my system. It takes quite a bit of searching to find this info and I can't find whether the new version has fixed the problem.

Manual Referencing - Editing/Deleting Fields
It would be useful if fields could be deleted as well as added when editing or compiling a manual reference e.g. Bills – we do not need the Sponsors field as it will add Anon which is not required.

Log in to refworks.proquest.com in Write-N-Cite using authorization code
The Write-N-Cite Word plugin contains "Use authorization code" as login method. It is only possible to generate this code in the old refworks.com, not the new refworks.proquest.com.
It should be possible to:
a) either generate the authorization code in refworks.proquest.com
b) or log in to Write-N-Cite using the password generated in refworks.proquest.com for the new add-in (RefWorks Citation Manager for Word 2016).The rationale for this is to support a way to pair the Write-N-Cite plugin with the refworks.proquest.com account using a way other than username/password (need to remember separate password) and other than Shibboleth (displaying a web view in…
