 ### Changed
 
+- We reintroduced the possibility to extract references from plain text (using GROBID) [#5614](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/5614) 
 - We changed the open office panel to show buttons in rows of three instead of going straight down to save space as the button expanded out to take up unnecessary horizontal space. [#5479](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5479)
 - We cleaned up the group add/edit dialog. [#5826](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/5826)
 - We reintroduced the index column. [#5844](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/5844)
