UI proposal: visually mark updated groups
I just noticed that the client navigates automatically to the last updated group after syncing. In this case I only saw it because a reference I was adding ended up in this group, unexpectedly.
My guess is that this is intended as a kind of notification of updates. If so, this is problematic:
Natural follow-up proposal: visually mark the newest additions to group libraries. Possibly useful UI solutions can be found in email inboxes or social service notifier icons.

- new additions may end up in unexpected places
- it doesn't help (and is positively confusing) when multiple groups have been updated (the users misses all of that except the last one)

This is an interesting idea. Marking groups until you look at them could work. Visually marking items seems problematic, though, since you don't "read" Zotero items the way you read e-mail, and you can always sort by Date Added.
