Not usable - No permission to change things in google docs

Zotero google docs doesn't work any more. I can't add citation, edit preferences as if it is unresponsive, when I close the desktop app, it prompts to open it and then I can try to add a citation etc.

The result is that:
The Google account you selected does not have permission to edit this document. Please try again, and be sure to choose the account with editing access.

And the google docs get locked in a pop up with : Zotero is updating your document.
Please wait…

Have tried uninstalling, deleting permissions in my google account and reapproving the zotero exstension, logging out etc.

When i have my person and work gmail logged in , it promts to choose to account, but even if both have access still permission error. Both vivalid and microsoft edge have these problems
All give the no permission to edit error

  • Does this occur in a new document? Can you restart your browser and create a Debug ID from the Zotero Connector for an operation that produces this behaviour?
  • Yesterday I also tried creating a new document. It all started when I added my work gmail account in september, but since I didn't need it before I thought it was some version conflicts of multiple things.
    All other features worked.

    I haven't changed anything on my side. But it is now working. But it isn't recognising linked references, in old google documents.
    Still generated a Debug Id D17046257
    Maybe it was sth to do with my other plugins.
