references in library not appearing as options when adding citations

dorner

I am using Zotero 6.0.27 on a Windows 365 Basic machine. I have entries in my Zotero library that are not appearing as options when I try to insert a citation in a word document. I have tried the default insertion method and the classic add citation dialog box.

The citation dialog just shows all the regular items in your local library. If you see something in your library, you'll definitely see it in the citation dialogs.

But make sure you're looking at regular items with metadata, not just standalone attachments.

When you use the classic add citation dialog, you should see an exact replica of the library you see when using the local Zotero app. Are you saying that's not the case? Make sure you are using the "Add citation" dialog, not the "Add Note" one (which would only show notes and their parent items.
