[Zotero 7 beta] Add-ons may need to be re-installed
I've been holding off on using the 7 beta because some add-ons are not yet compatible… or so I thought.
The most essential add-on for my workflow is BetterBibTeX for use with Obsidian (and Raycast, somewhat). Even though I had updated to the latest beta and the latest BBT, it was still showing as incompatible in the Add-Ons pane.

But I started seeing comments from others that it was working fine.
It took some guessing and head-banging, but eventually, I tried downloading the XPI from the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex) and manually installing it to Z7b.
What do you know, now it works!

It may be worth mentioning somewhere that even though add-ons automatically show as installed (but disabled) in the beta, they should be re-installed.

But, while it was working fine, I had to switch back to Z6 for a separate reason. Now BBT is seen as incompatible in Z7b again.
