How to Find Sub Library or Subdirectory of a Resource

Invisibleman · December 22, 2023

Let's say you do a search in your Zotero master library, and you get a dozen items in which that search term is found. You're staring at that list and you want to drill down to locate in which subdirectory a resource is located, but there's nothing that shows us. You can open that resource, but you have no idea where it is in your Zotero library. If you have hundreds of resources, as I do, and over a hundred subdirectories, you may need to locate that subdirectory and the location of that resource to keep resources organized for large projects. How? Does anyone know?

This is probably what you are looking for:

To see all the collections an item is in, select the item and then hold down the Option key (macOS), Control key (Windows), or Alt key (Linux). This will highlight all collections that contain the selected item.
