The result is a completely redesigned UI, with a wealth of new features and functionalities that make your work easier and more effective. Of course, we wanted the new UI to focus on individual user customization, so you can make your JabRef truly your own and more convient to your workflow. For example, JabRef now offers a dark theme and we layed the foundation to support custom themes in future.

We are working on a Word add-in that allows users to select and insert citations directly from the Word document. The JabRef Word Add-in can be used without having your reference manager open or even installed. Once you sign in to JabRef Word Addin, your JabRef library is downloaded from the cloud, and you can continue working on your document. JabRef word addin opens as a separate panel in Word alongside your document window. So your whole document remains in your view as you search, select and insert references.

Merging duplicates and resolving conflicts is a major use case for JabRef users, according to a 2019 research conducted by JabRef developers [^1].

JabRef has several dialogs that reuse the merge UI, such as the Entries Merger Dialog, the Duplicate Resolver Dialog, the Entry Importer Dialog, and the External Changes Resolver Dialog.

When you're looking at a huge list of items, it can be helpful to see which ones are different from the others. This is especially useful when merging duplicates, as most of the time, duplicates only contain one difference. By having differences highlighted, you can quickly and easily spot the different field, and resolve it.

![](/img/three-way-merge-diff-highlighting.png)
![Screenshot showing the three merge dialog with the highlighting word modus](/img/three-way-merge-diff-highlighting.png)

In the new three way merge UI, we've decided to highlight differences by coloring the background behind the different text. This is a more common way of highlighting differences, and we think it will be easier for users to notice. We've also introduced *Split view* and *Unified view* to allow users to view differences split between the two entries or in one entry. Finally, we've fixed several bugs and pitfalls in the previous diff highlighting algorithm, such as, [Spaces trimmed in Merge Entry Dialog](https://github.com/koppor/jabref/issues/371).

### Select Both Field Values (AKA Merge Fields)

When merging entries, sometimes you want to select both values for a certain field. A common use case for this would be wanting the merged entry to have both the left and right entry groups. Now, you can simply click the merge button next to the groups label and we'll take care of the rest. We'll merge the left and right entry groups, keeping only one copy of any common group. And this works for more than just groups - you can also merge keywords, comments and files. So go ahead and give it a try - it'll make your life a lot easier.

![](/img/three-way-merge-groups-keywords.png)
![Screenshots showing the three way merge dialog with textual annotations on the side pointing to the merge options for groups and keywords](/img/three-way-merge-groups-keywords.png)

### Open DOIs and URLs from The Merge Dialog

We included a button on the side of field cells to open links; as of right now, only URLs and DOIs can be opened. Since the left and right field cells cannot be selected, a copy button was included for convenience. We plan to improve this design and include more actions in the future.

## Future Work

We've made some progress, but there's still more work to be done. We're going to make separate improvements to each of the dialogs that use the merge UI. This has already begun with the external changes resolver dialog. We'll also update the documentation and write tests before release.
