 - We moved the location of the 'Open only one instance of JabRef' preference option from "Network" to "General". [#9306](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/9306)
 - The two previews in the change resolver dialog now have their scrollbars synchronized. [#9576](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/9576).
 - We changed the setting of the keyword separator to accept a single character only. [#177](https://github.com/koppor/jabref/issues/177)
+- We replaced "SearchAll" in Web Search by "Search Selected". [#10556](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/10556)
 - Short DOI formatter now checks, if the value is already formatted. If so, it returns the value instead of calling the ShortDOIService again. [#10589](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/10589)
 - We upgraded to JavaFX 21.0.1. As a consequence JabRef requires now macOS 11 or later and GTK 3.8 or later on Linux [10627](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/10627).
