Text highlightings sync doesnt work properly for snapshots (PC Tablet, PC)

Technodex · 2025-05-27T03:55:49+00:00

Hey guys,

I was working on my thesis and figured out that text highlightings I did on my PC on Snapshots (e.g. online articles) doesnt show on my phone or tablet at all in my zotero apps. That means I only can edit and review them from my Computer.

While it works fine for PDF-Files.

Anyone else has this problem?

The mobile apps don't yet support snapshot or EPUB annotation. (They don't actually show snapshots in the reader at this time — they just open them in a web view like any other webpage shown in an app.)

Any info about if this issue has been aknowledged from devs or sth? Would be really glad if this would be fixed. @dstillman

It's planned.

@dstillman really sorry for disturbing but can I expect an update fixing this issue in the next few weeks?

Also thank u very much for your previous responses.

There's nothing to "fix". EPUB/snapshot annotation was a new feature in Zotero 7, and it's not yet available in the mobile apps. It will be available for testing in the iOS beta soon, but we can't comment beyond that.
