Upgrade StorageCan the browser icon show if I've already added it to the library?
Hello,
I've read some of the past discussions in the forum regarding duplicate entries. I did not do an exhaustive search, but I didn’t find anything more recent than 2011 regarding this issue. I was wondering if the little "page" icon in address bar could change colors to show that you've already clicked it and added it to your library (like how hyperlinks often change color when you've clicked on it). I'm asking this because I often do literature reviews by preliminarily searching through all the search results, open ones I'm interested, but move on to the next. Once I've identified all potential articles I need, I begin to read their abstracts, etc., and then I decide whether to add them to my library. However, this means that I could have 15 tabs open, and it can get confusing as to whether I have already added something to my library. It just tacks on extra time to have to do a search in my library to see if it’s there already. My quickest solution is to keep my library open sorted by date added, and then I can quickly see if I've already added it without having to type anything. I'm sure its pretty complicated to change the icon color, but it would be most useful!
Thanks!
