Upgrade Storageworkflow docx > google docs, redirect references to group library
Dear all,
so, I have written this document in MS Word with active Zotero references. Now I want to continue working on the document with others using Google Docs. I have created a Zotero Group for this purpose and copied the entries referenced in the paper into that library. But how do I redirect the references in the paper to the corresponding ones in the group library? Is that necessary? If so, as I suspect, do I do that first locally with the Word document before uploading it into Google Docs? Or do I do that online with the Google Doc version? Is there a standard workflow for that?
I have found a discussion from 2019 of a similar problem (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/79206/moving-in-text-citations-from-my-library-to-a-group-library), but I did not really understand the answer offered, and given I am planning to use Google Docs, the workflow may be different anyways.
Thanks in advance for your help!

In case it's relevant: I am using Zotero 7.0.32 (64-bit), the current version of Zotero Connector for Firefox (March 30, 2026) and MS Office 365. SD

adamsmithThe 2019 answer is still applicable -- if anything isn't clear, you'd have to say what.
