Scrivener-Zotero workflow a few questions
Hello all.
I'm a PhD student bogged down in the writing stage. Up to now my workflow was word with the zotero plugin for citations. However I am struggling to manage the large document/chapter workflow with word and am thinking of using Scrivener.
I have watched multiple youtube videos and have read several of the forum posts here about the workflow and I think I have a reasonable handle on it.
I've managed to convert my word doc to libre office and used Zotero to convert the citations to "marks" for Scrivener and they appear correctly.
I just have a few questions
1. If I am citing multiple authors and have to drag and drop them seperately into a scrivener document- will they format correctly later when the doc is exported- i.e. with a comma or semi colon seperating them?.
2. If I need to modify a citation I've dragged in by adding something like "see..." or a page or chapter number- is there a specific format/syntax for that and if so is there a link to somewhere in the documentation that describes it, or an example.
All of the youtube tutorials I've watched just do the most basic implementation of zotero/scrivener with no modification of citations.
I'm just trying to figure out if this new workflow will work for me before committing.

1. Will work, yes
2. modifying citations is described on the add-ons homepage under "Working with Citations" https://zotero-odf-scan.github.io/zotero-odf-scan/
