# January 2026 - Release Notes 

## Features & Releases

**Project (text) Highlighter:** The Project highlighter is located in **Manage -> Settings,** below the Project setting box. Click the + Add highlighter button, give your highlighter a name (aka Title) and add terms in the Add keyword box, clicking the + button or enter on your keyboard after each term or phrase. Options include **case sensitivity** and [regular expressions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) (which can be used to highlight terms or phrases based on a pattern, such as all numeric measures in microgram units). You can also use **the color picker** to choose custom colors. When choosing darker colors, the font of the highlighted text will automatically change to white to improve readability.

**Zotero Import Translator:** Sysrev has integrated the Zotero Translator for Import/Export file types. Moving forward, any file that is compatible with Zotero can be imported into Sysrev without loss of data. Learn more about the Zotero Translator [here](https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators#:~:text=Import%20translators:%20can%20import%20item,arXiv%2C%20are%20also%20search%20translators.).

**Gemini Auto-labeler data transfers:** We have updated the way PDFs are transferred to and processed by the Gemini 2.5 Flash LLM. Previously, we would pre-process PDFs using Grobid to turn a PDF into text. This process was helpful to early models. Moving forward, we will perform no text pre-processing and send the full PDF to Gemini. This will increase data recall, by removing the possibility of text constraints, as well as providing images, tables and headers to Gemini.

## Bugs & Defects

**Check new results:** A defect was fixed whereby Sysrev was not properly checking parent projects for new articles that match a filter used as an import into a child project. 

**Disabled article data:** A defect was fixed whereby the data of/from disabled articles was still populating project widgets e.g. the User Answers histogram. 

**Prefilled False Boolean** *:* A defect was fixed whereby Sysrev was not properly prefilling Auto-labeler answers for human review when the Auto-labeler returned False for a boolean label.
