| 4. CLZ Cloud sync & multi‑device access | Automatic cloud backup and two‑way sync between desktop, web and mobile | Keeps catalogues up‑to‑date across devices and protects against data loss |

| 6. Flexible views, sorting & folder/grouping | Card, list and image views; sort/group by any field or custom folder | Faster browsing and easy organization for large collections |
| 7. Import/Export tools (CSV, XML, legacy imports) | Import from other CLZ products, XML/CSV and export for backups or other tools | Smooth migration from older software and easy data portability |
| 8. Cover/Variant filters & match‑scoring | Improved matching with variant filters and popularity/confidence indicators | Helps pick correct matches for visually similar photos or editions |
| 9. Built‑in value/check links (marketlookups) | Quick links to marketplace results (e.g., eBay) and value checking tools | Useful when cataloging photos as items for sale or valuation |
