• Searching your library

• Collections

• Deleting references

To search your library, use the search box at the top right of the central pane. The document details in your library will be searched, as well as any tags which you have applied to your references.

You can organise references by putting them into collections. 

• To create a collection, click on +Create collection in the left pane. Give it a name and press the <Enter> key on your keyboard.
• To delete or re-name a collection, right-click on the collection name.
• You can drag and drop references from All References into a collection, or select references by ticking the boxes and using the Organize option at the bottom of the page.
• To remove a reference from a collection, select the reference (by checking the box next to it), use the Organize option at the bottom of the page. If you remove a reference from a collection, the reference can still be found under All References. Do not drag and drop your references to Trash if you want to remove it from a collection, as this will delete the reference from your All References.

• To delete references, select reference(s) by ticking the boxes, then click Move to Trash at the bottom of the page.
• References will remain in Trash until you delete them permanently. To delete references permanently, go to the Trash folder. Select reference(s) by ticking the boxes, then click Delete permanently at the bottom of the page.
• If you wish to restore references in Trash to your Library, select reference(s) by ticking the boxes, then click Restore at the bottom of the page.
