how to stop updating items?

hello,

does anyone know how I can make Zotero stop asking me if I'd like to update the citation or bibliographic reference or whatever it's called of an item? I just want to cite different pages of a document for God's sake.

thanks

It's asking you because that's not how you use Zotero. If you edit citations directly in the document, Zotero can no longer update those citations to keep them correct, so it needs to ask you what to do.

You add page numbers through the citation dialog:
