While Mendeley Desktop continues to be available according to their support documentation, Elsevier is clearly directing users toward the newer Mendeley Reference Manager as their primary solution. The company states that some users may prefer to continue using Desktop, but their focus and development efforts have shifted to Reference Manager. You should transition to Mendeley Reference Manager, which offers modern features including AI-powered research assistance and is actively maintained and updated by Elsevier.
