All Documents: All references in your library.
Recently Added: References recently added to your library will remain in this folder for 3 weeks.
Recently Read: PDF files that you have recently opened.
Favorites: References that you have starred.
Needs Review: Imported references that require attention. References in this folder will automatically be removed once they have been reviewed.
My Publications: Add references that you have authored in this folder. References in this folder will be displayed in your online Mendeley profile.
Unsorted: References not in a folder.
