We’ve introduced a new Auto Fetch PDF setting in EasySLR, giving teams greater flexibility in how PDFs are managed within projects.

What’s New?

Users can now choose whether they want EasySLR to automatically fetch PDFs for imported citations.

How It Works

• When Auto Fetch PDF is Enabled
  EasySLR will automatically begin fetching available PDFs for all articles in the project, helping teams quickly move into the full-text screening stage.

• When Auto Fetch PDF is Disabled
  EasySLR will not attempt to retrieve PDFs automatically, allowing teams to manage PDF uploads manually or use their preferred workflow.

How to Enable or Disable Auto Fetch PDF

Step 1: Open Project Settings

Step 2: Navigate to Workflow Section

Step 3: Locate the “Auto Fetch PDF” Setting

Step 4: Choose Your Preferred Workflow

Key Benefits

• Greater control over PDF management workflows

• Flexibility to decide when the PDFs should be fetched

• Reduced unnecessary PDF retrieval for projects where automatic retrieval is not required

• Faster access to full-text articles when enabled

This update allows teams to better align PDF retrieval behaviour with their internal review processes and project requirements.
