I can see that this has been suggested before but it doesn’t seem to have been implemented - in a similar way to how Chrome, Outlook etc. do it, it would be useful if EndNote could offer users the option to automatically re-open references if EndNote closes unexpectedly, or at least has a list of the last 10 or 20 references that have been opened. I had 7 or 8 PDF’s open in EndNote but my computer shut itself down and I lost all of my open references - very frustrating and not always possible to recall every single one that was open
