#3. Launch RefWorks

1. Click on "Add-ons" in the top ribbon of the Google Doc again.

The default is set to view all of your references, but, if you have organized your references into folders in RefWorks, the drop-down menu will allow you to view references by specific folder. The example below shows references that were last imported.
