Multiple Zotero Accounts

wallywennerberg

If I log out of my first Zotero account, will it unlink all my citations in my google doc document, and I will be unable to re-link them if I log back into this account? I would like to have 2 accounts, one personal and one school. Thank you.

It won't unlink citations, no, but I'd very much discourage multiple accounts for most users -- you can keep things separate using collections, even groups, etc. as needed. If you really must run multiple accounts, the way to go is to run them on different profiles: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/multiple_profiles

Unlinking every time will slow you down -- syncing down your Zotero data will take some time --, you might lose things if syncing hasn't finished, you can mess up documents by including citations from both accounts, which are hard to reconcile.
