Ruined Collection with Imports

swillocks · September 4, 2023

Hello.

I had issues importing my bibliography into my word document today, as it would only import 3 items. I have synced, checked version, closed the document etc, but I was unable to import the full library. In my desperation, I have now completly messed up the library by importing over 300 items, seemingly from previous collections. I have zero knowledge of how to undo or restore to my previous collection.

I would be greatful for any support!

I'm not sure what you're saying regarding Word, but if you made duplicate imports into Zotero, you can sort by Date Added and delete entire sets of imported items at once.

For any other issue, we'd need a clearer description. See Reporting Problems for the info we need to help.

Thank you so much for the reply dstillman. The message was garbled as I was unsure what I had actually done myself, I managed to use these guides and changed the squlite file to a bak and restored it. Phew!

Thanks again :)
