Organizing Reference

  • For ease of use, references can be sorted into different folders called Collections.
  • References can sit in more than one Collection at a time.

To add a reference to a Collection, simply drag and drop it to the appropriate folder icon in the left-hand menu bar. Note that references do not automatically get removed from one Collection when added to another and that deleting a reference from a collection does not delete it from your library.
