Hi, we have a group library with 26 members. We have been adding items to it for several months, but today it is completely empty. Is this a bug? Any help appreciated!
One of the group admins deleted all data in the library several weeks ago. If you email support@zotero.org with a link to this thread, we can tell you who did it.
Any group member who just synced for the first time since this happen should be able to restore the data using one of their automatic backups.
For a future version, we're likely to offer a way to prevent non-admins from deleting objects they didn't create (which is usually done out of confusion when someone is trying to free up their own storage space), but that wouldn't stop an admin from doing this. There may be other options we can offer to help prevent or recover from this sort of thing.
