Changelog
What's new.
Features, improvements, and fixes shipped to Alfred Scholar.
June 2026
Finalized manuscripts stay locked, and reviews show only final papers
Marking a manuscript as Final now makes it fully read-only: the text, the title, and images can no longer be changed or resized until you switch it back to Draft. The Peer reviews list now shows only finalized papers, so you assign reviewers and collect feedback on work that is actually ready.
Read moreFind your way with guided tours
The first time you open a page, Alfred now walks you through it with a short guided tour that highlights what each area does and what to do next, including the exact steps to run a plagiarism check. Each tour shows once, and a "?" button replays it anytime.
Read moreA clearer, more useful originality check
The Plagiarism check now highlights the exact overlapping passages in your draft, lets you exclude quotes and references from the score, and exports a professional PDF report you can share.
Read moreSync your Zotero and Mendeley library whenever you want
Your reference library now imports the moment you connect, and a new Sync now button lets you pull the latest citations, PDFs, and annotations on your own schedule.
Read morePricing on the homepage, and a straight answer to "why not a chatbot?"
The homepage now shows real plan prices next to the affordability mission, contrasts grounded page-cited answers with a general chatbot, gives PhD candidates, professors, and labs each their own desk, and tightens every claim to exactly what the product does.
Read moreA living homepage that shows its work
The homepage now demonstrates Alfred instead of describing it: a 3D constellation of papers and citations drifts behind the hero, the chat vignette draws an ink thread from its citation to the exact source passage, verifiable numbers count up, and the roadmap shows what recently shipped - pulled live from this changelog.
Read moreA calmer, more polished way to scroll
Every page of the website now shares one gentle, consistent motion as you scroll: sections settle into place, headlines sharpen into focus, and a thin reading-progress line tracks how far you are. Tuned for phones first, and fully respectful of reduced-motion settings.
Read moreA much better experience on your phone
Every app page now works properly on mobile: bottom navigation, tappable card lists instead of cramped tables, compact headers, and settings you can swipe through.
Read moreOne look, from the front door to your desk
The warm, scholarly look of our website now carries through the whole product: your workspace, settings, and the Citation Constellation explorer all share the same paper canvas, serif headings, and signature highlights.
Read more7-day trials replace the Free plan
Every workspace now starts with a 7-day Pro trial. The permanent Free plan has been removed, and Pro or Lab is required after the trial ends.
