“In the left-hand sidebar, scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see a collection called Feeds”

“you can add the RSS feeds of journals, which automatically populates with every new article that journal publishes. You can then click Add to “My Library” to immediately send that article to your library”

“you can add any RSS feed here. If you add a blog, you’ll be able to see any new blog post that comes out from that website. You can then either double click it to be taken to the URL for the blog post, or you can technically read it in-app. The content of the blog post goes into the Abstract field on the right-hand sidebar. It’s not the best reader, but it works!”
