ResearchWize 2.3.4 introduces a redesigned Research Workspace built directly into the Firefox sidebar.

What’s new:

• Summarize the active webpage only when you click—ResearchWize no longer runs continuously across websites
• Analyze PDF, DOCX and TXT files, including scanned PDFs with OCR
• Organize sources, summaries and projects in your local Browser Library
• Open the ResearchWize web app to create structured Evidence Plans
• Improved account, subscription and usage-limit validation
• Refreshed interface designed for faster, more focused research
• Analytics remain disabled unless you explicitly opt in

Your existing Browser Library, projects, summaries and settings are preserved during the update. ResearchWize 2.3.4 requires Firefox 140 or newer.
