ZoteroPreview

This plug-in is not working. Or working after installing then disapear the next day... It's the citation preview, the one which normally appear in the right panel above Info section. This plug-in allows users to have a preview of the narrative citation and the bibliographic reference as well as to copy them, then paste into a Word file individually.
ZoteroPreview is an available plug-in, however it's status change to Discontinued when checked with Extension button on the standalone interface...
Your previous response doesn't address this plug-in.
As a librarian, I am giving Zotero workshops, and I need to clarify this disfunction.
Thank you.

The plugin was discontinued because Zotero 7 added the ability to show a bibliography entry at the top of the item pane.

Copying citations and bibliographies to the clipboard or via drag and drop is a built-in feature of Zotero and doesn't require a plugin (though people using Word should generally use the Word plugin, not Quick Copy).

The plugin has been discontinued because its functionality is integrated into Zotero 7. Make sure you're on the latest version of Zotero, then right-click the title field at the top of the item pane and choose View As -> Bibliography Entry:

If you do that and it still isn't working, you'll need to be more specific about what you're seeing.

I work in Windows and I cannot have the contextual menu showing in your image.

You might have hidden the item pane header. Open Zotero Settings, and under General -> Appearance and Language, change the "Item Pane Header" setting.
