Multiple entries in document
Hi!
I have a highly specific issue. I am working with my thesis which stretched over years. I have written parts 1, 2 and 3 in separate documents and from separate computers. Now I want to assemble the final version. I have copied the content of all three documents to a single documents. The problem is that Zotero does not seem to automatically merge the entries. Most are merged, but some appear twice in the bibiography and is treated separately in my notes. I want to solve the issue without going through one by one all citations. I have found no exact help for my issue on the forums.
Looking forward to your help.

(This often happens if you had duplicates in your library and deleted some instead of using Zotero's own duplicate-merging functionality.)
I also tried extracting the bibliographic data from my document to my Zotero library with https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/. Then in Zotero the entries appear as duplicates, then I merged them, but this still not had effect on the document. I do not understand why.
Is there any way to avoid doing it manually for 100+ entries? Is there any way for Zotero to import bibliography entries from a foreign document and then handle them in that same document as if they were from my Zotero library?
