Does Better Notes Now Work with Beta 7?

Invisibleman · December 8, 2023

I'm afraid to download and install Better Notes in Beta 7, because I don't want to crash Zotero Beta 7 or create some glitch that I can't solve, and then end up losing months of research work. Is it safe to try to install Better Notes to Beta 7, or is there a risk of Zotero crashing or suddenly having other problems? Does anyone know? Does anyone know?

The Better Notes plugin has Pre-release versions that you can install on Zotero 7 Beta: https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-better-notes/releases

The first one was on June 20 with Release 1.1.4-0. It is now at Release 1.1.4-44.
I am using it on Zotero 7 Beta for a while (Windows 10), and that is the only version that is actively developped.
I am not aware of any major issue of using the Better Notes plugin, but you can have a look at the issues on GitHub to get an idea of the situation.

As always with a beta version, and for testing a new external plugin, you should not use it for any critical work, and always keep a backup of your library:
