Can we make Zotero read (but not reformat?) modified Mendeley citations

Spartandawg444 · November 22, 2023

Hi All,

I've migrated to Zotero 6 from Mendeley Desktop. I have several papers that I am currently writing. Thankfully, Zotero is able to read the citations from Mendeley. However, when I go to create a reference list, Zotero updates those citations throughout the paper. Unfortunately, this includes modified citations that I've edited to include page numbers, for example.

Is there a way for Zotero to read but not reformat the modified Mendeley citations? Or will I have to go back and edit citations after Zotero updates them?

Thanks!

There isn't a way for Zotero to keep those modifications, you will have to reformat with Zotero.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
