"Remove from folder" once you run the duplication checker
When users search multiple databases during the course of a project the chances are good that they'll need to de-duplicate a folder just in case they have multiple copies of the same citation.

Document convert tool to match Legacy citations to new Refworks
For Word documents created with Write-N-Cite but linked to a legacy Refworks account, have a WnC conversion tool. It would match the citations in the document, to records in the New Refworks account.

Make it faster
For something that it paid for, my RefWorks is always moving REAL slow compared to other paid reference managers I've used (mainly EndNote). RefWorks seems to have trouble handling the 2,000+ references I've accumulated (and continue to accumulate) over my career.
