See all unsynced items?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to solve a syncing error problem that I have.

During an import quite a few items caused syncing errors due to the creator name in the item being too long to sync (during the import process something happened that made it smash all authors into one field...).

On my Mac I resolved this manually by shortening the field for each individual item and thus resolving all syncing errors. However, on my work computer the same syncing errors still remains, and the computer no longer syncs with zotero.org or my Mac.

Now I could repeat the process on my computer but it would take hours. Therefore I was wondering whether there exist a way to get an overview over all unsynced items, so that I could just delete them all from the library alltogether.

All help is appreciated!

    Not totally sure what you mean here.

    Do you mean that you imported a totally different set of items on your work computer and don't want to have to resolve the same sorts of issues with those, or something else?

    If the items couldn't be uploaded, you wouldn't have the same items on a different computer unless you did a separate import from the same file. If that's the case, you can just sort the middle pane by Date Added and delete all the items imported at that time, though if you used them in any word processor documents you'd break links to citations.

    And if you're talking about a different set of items, it would really just be the same thing. You can sort by Date Added and delete the whole set, but you'd obviously lose all the items.

    There's no way to see just unsynced items.
