Share references with other projects (under the same account)
I need to share references with different projects and there is no way to do that. Please advise or add that feature. Thanks!

To move/copy references between projects, export the references from the initial project where they are placed and import them into the other project(s), or use sharing.

Add notes onto references.
It would be useful if you could add notes onto your reference as to the themes or something you want to touch on in your work. Tags and folders just aren't quite enough.

At the moment I'm working with a researcher so that I do the searches and import references into RefWorks, and she goes through the results and sorts them when she has time.
I think it's really inconvenient that you have to clear all at once. Please, please, could you activate the…
