Google Docs Zotero DELETED my thesis

I added a citation as I always did on google docs. And the entire text below the citation until the bibliography was deleted PERMANENTLY.

I could recover a part of my thesis from earlier saves, and some hours of my work was gone. Then I added an item to the bibliography, and the entire bibliography was reformatted into something random. Undoing is impossible. When I manually corrected the format, the entire bibliography was de-attached from the text. The latter happened twice in two days, and I have no idea why. I lost hours and I am very upset.

FYI,

Regards

  • We can try to debug that, but you should be able to undo from the Google Docs version history.

    You'd have to say more — copy and paste or provide a screenshot. Note that, unless you've added uncited items to the bibliography, which is uncommon, the bibliography is just a representation of the citations you have in the document, so you can always simply delete it and reinsert it with Add/Edit Bibliography.
  • Unfortunately the most recent google docs save was from hours ago. I recovered from there what I could already. Thank you for the suggestion.
