„Show Editor“ missing/ „Editor anzeigen“ fehlt Zotero 8

Hey there, I just updated to Zotero 8. I use Zotero for over a decade now and always recommened ist. But since Zotero 8 the option to manually edit a citation within the word plugin is gone. From time to time it is necessary to manually customize single citations, e.g. brackets which should not close or a final dot which should not appear. I always solved that by manually editing, which was perfect. Is there any way to get this function back? Manually editing in Word without updating it in Zotero is not a satisfying option. Thank you in advance!

That's just a misunderstanding. Editing in Word does exactly the same as the editor in the old dialogue and has for at least a decade: Edits are kept and future updating of that citation is disabled.

Thank you very much for your quick response, I actually wasn’t aware of that, I used this function frequently. It probably never caused an obvious problem because I hardly change the underlying entry in the Zotero database.
