Workflow- viewing 2 PDFs and/or Notecards
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2023 7:38 pm
I'm looking for examples of workflows that allow working on one PDF (in this case, a thesis I'm marking) whilst being able to search, view and read other PDF's in my library.
As I'm marking the thesis - I'm making use of the notecards feature to prepare my examiners report. I need to be able to check the 'works cited'. The student has provided some of their reference list (which is in my Bookends Library), but not all. This means nearly every sentence I'm having to search for the works cited and then navigate back to the thesis.
Is there a way to keep the thesis PDF pinned or open in another floating window?(I'm thinking similar to Scrivener's Quick Reference window) ?
I know I can open the PDF separately in preview- but I quite like the Bookends notecards feature (and I'm using headers/tags features), so I would prefer being able to access the notecards feature.
The quickest way I've found is to use PDF tabs, but its still alot of clicking around.
