Pick up recently opened papers right from the home page.

You rarely finish a paper in one sitting. The Continue reading row on the home page keeps your recently opened papers one click away, so you don't have to dig up a URL or re-run a search to get back to where you were.

Where to find it

When you're signed in, the home page shows a Continue reading section near the top, with a horizontal row of paper cards. Use the arrows on the right of the heading to scroll through them, or the See All link to open the full list in a dedicated page.

If you haven't opened any papers yet, the row simply doesn't appear.

How papers get here

Any paper you open in the Reader is tracked automatically. There's nothing to save manually. The row is ordered by most recently viewed first, so the paper you looked at last sits at the front.

The row shows your most recent papers (up to around 20). For the complete history, use See All next to the navigation arrows.

Reading progress

Each card shows how far you got. If page information is available, you'll see a progress bar with "Page X of Y" and a percentage. Cards also show a relative timestamp like "2h ago" or "Yesterday" so you can tell at a glance how recent each one is.

Resuming a paper

Click any card to reopen that paper in the Reader. arXiv papers reopen by their arXiv ID; uploaded papers reopen by their internal ID, so your own uploads show up here too.

Tidying the row

Hover over a card to reveal two small buttons in its corner:

• Mark as read (the checkmark) removes the paper from the row once you're done with it.
• Remove from list (the X) dismisses a paper you opened by accident or no longer need.

Both actions take effect immediately. They only change what appears in the Continue reading row; they don't delete the paper, your highlights, or your notes.

Tips

• The row refreshes when you return to the home tab, so a paper you just read in another tab appears right away.
• Mark papers as read to keep the row focused on what you're actively working through.
• Need the full history instead of the recent few? Use the See All link.
