Chat with a Document
April 2026

Chat with a Document lets you ask questions and receive answers drawn directly from the document itself. The feature analyzes each question, understands its context, and responds using only the information contained within the document—nothing more, nothing less. Chat with a Document intelligently identifies relevant sections, surfaces precise answers, and will even point you to specific areas of the document were the information is found.

Select Metadata Fields to Include When Emailing and Sharing
May 2026

Users will be able to email or share record metadata and abstracts using one of three formats: 1) a Brief view, 2) a customizable Detailed view, or 3) a standard Citation format (such as APA or MLA); and libraries will be able to set a default format, which users can choose to override. The Detailed view will allow users to pick and choose which metadata fields to include from a predefined list, making it easy to generate tailored references. The Brief and Detailed formats will include permalinks to each individual record in EBSCO's user interface, and the full text when available.

Bulk Actions for Search History Enhancements on the Advanced Results Page
June 2026

The search history area of the advanced results page will include a bulk actions toolbar and the ability to save individual searches; it will also provide the ability to view results of searches without incurring a new S# (duplicating it in search history). Personalized users will also have the ability to save their entire search history as one "search set" that can be viewed and re-run later in future browser sessions.

Search Sets for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA "Search Strategies")
June 2026

Advanced results page users will have the ability to save their entire search history as one "search set" when logged into their MyEBSCO account. A new "search sets" tab will display under "Saved" that will list all saved search sets, which can be sorted alphabetically and by date. Each individual search set will display as a read-only version of the same detailed table view from search history on the advanced results page, with the ability to save and delete individual S#'s and download the entire search set (ie. PRISMA search strategy). Users will be able to re-run the entire search set to generate a refreshed version in search history on the advanced results page, so they can continue to edit and iterate on it as they refine and eventually finalize their PRISMA search strategy. Each new version can be saved as a new search set, and older versions can be deleted from the list of search sets. The download files for search history will also be improved to better support documentation and reproducibility of search strategies, and manual data entry into the PRISMA Flow Diagram (PDF, MS Word, CSV, XML, RTF, TXT).

Hit Counts Display "Total Hits" Until End of Results
June 2026

After a search runs and there are duplicates present (common in multi-database searching and EDS), the hit count will display Total Hits (including duplicates) until the end of the results are reached, at which point the New UI will continue to display the final deduplicated hit count. The New UI will no longer show an "Initial deduped hit count."

To support larger workflows, users will be able to easily navigate through sequential batches of 500 records, up to a maximum of 3,500 records per day.
