[COMPLETED] No check boxes in group library

I want to remove all the articles currently in the group library for which I am administrator but I can't select them all at once like I can in my private library. Is there some way you can fix this? Thanks!

If you want to delete ALL articles, it might be easier to use this trick

Thanks for that! I have another query about tags/deletion. I am going through all the author names manually at the moment as there are a lot of group names e.g. "Ministry of Health" that didn't import properly. I have lots by the same groups so being able to select and do them all at once would be really helpful. Is there anyway of doing this? If not, is there any way of making the author-tags like the keyword-tags where you can rename/delete a group at once etc... ?

No, I'm afraid not - good idea, though.


If you've imported using BibTeX, you might find it easier to change the names in that file first, doing a "global search and replace" for "Ministry of Health" -> "{Ministry of Health}". I think that works. If not you could try =///Ministry of Health/=.

I imported an RIS file as seem to have less hiccups with that. Nevermind- thanks anyway:) Maybe for the future?

The =///Ministry of Health/= trick might work with RIS.

Just to confirm - it does.
