Feature request: allow replacement of item

zyiyu

I constantly replace arXiv versions of articles in my library with the published versions. However, some articles exist in multiple subcollections, making it cumbersome to switch. I wonder if you could provide a feature to "completely replace one item with a new one," which would be much more convenient. Thanks!

Best regards
Yiyu

Add the new item → select both → right-click → Merge Items. The merged item will remain in any collections where it previously existed and will still be linked to citations in any word processor documents.

Thanks, I will try that.
