Cite While You Write (CWYW) Enhancement

Smart Tags and Automatic PDF Renaming

Secure Data Restoration

Your research is too valuable to lose. This version allows you to unlock advanced data restoration features, ensuring that if your library is ever corrupted or accidentally deleted, you can acquire a previous version from the cloud or local backups instantly.
