My PI has a shared lab folder for important papers, and I often import these into my own library by adding labels to them. The trouble is, my labels don’t appear on the papers when I’m looking at the shared folder. Paperpile seems to know I have a copy of the paper in my library, but it’s displaying the info from the shared folder.
This behavior sort of makes sense, but also sort of doesn’t. I can understand why it would make sense to be able to see the labels my PI or collaborators add, but my labels should take precedence I would think. Particularly once you start to integrate collaborative annotation stuff, it would be nice if we could overlay our own organization (folders and tags) while referencing a shared resource with shared annotation, though I can understand that this might get complicated.
