Importing RIS creates a "primo_RIS_Export" folder for each import

How do I import with RIS and not create a new folder every time. Even when I have added this article or book to my main folder, if I then delete the extra RIS folder, it then deletes it out of all collections. You can see in my screenshot all the RIS folders created with each import...How do I get around this, so that I do not end up with 50 extra folders?

Uncheck the option "Place imported collections and items into new collection" in the import dialog (2nd window)

But also, Zotero has direct import from Primo discovery layers via the browser connector that should in most cases be better than the RIS import

Hello Both

Thank you both for your quick reply.

As I am completely new to Zotero, I am still not sure what to do.

When I import, there is no Options window that comes up and as I click through Zotero menus I cannot find this window.

Also I like the sound of Zotero having direct import from Primo discovery layers via the browser connector, but unfortunately aside from browser connector I have no idea what any of this means. Therefore I do not even know where to start with this.

Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to do this RIS import without the mess I am making?

Again I really appreciate the help
