Chrome extension does not allow selecting the collection

Hi.
When adding a new item via the Android app, I can select which collection to store the item.
I would like to do that with the Chrome extension. Is that planned?

Thanks.

The Chrome extension on the desktop? Yes, that exists. Can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Can the issue be that I don't have Zotero installed in my desktop? I am only using the Chrome extension with web sync.

Yes. Collection selection isn't currently supported for saving directly to the online library. You really want to have the desktop app installed and open for the best experience.

(Note that Zotero will warn you if it can't save to the local app and require you to give it permission to save to the online library, and it will say that it's saving to zotero.org in the save popup.)
