the folder where you would like the citations to
go (Screen).

Browse to the RIS, NBIB, or Endnote XML file you would like to upload and attach it, then click Import.
 

It may take some time, but you should see your citations appear in your systematic review on Covidence within the next few minutes.

Undoing your Import

If you want to reverse an import, you can do so as long as you have not screened any articles from that import.

In the import menu, select Import History.

Import history is located on the right under the Import menu

Each file you import will be listed.  If you have not screened articles from this import, you will see an Undo this import button.  Clicking the button will remove the entire import from the review.  If you have already screened articles, you will see a Check Duplicates button instead.  Imports cannot be undone at this stage.
