Upgrade StorageClarification Regarding APA 7th Edition Referencing Discrepancies
Dear Zotero Support Team,
I am writing to seek clarification regarding some discrepancies I have identified between Zotero's APA 7th Edition citation style output and the guidance provided in the official APA 7th Edition referencing instructions.
My university in Scotland, in the United Kingdom, currently recommends the use of EndNote for academic referencing. As part of my investigation into these differences, I have discussed the matter with an EndNote support specialist. Following this discussion, I was informed that EndNote's APA 7th Edition output differs in several respects from the official APA 7th Edition guidance.
Having compared the reference outputs generated by Zotero and EndNote against the APA 7th Edition instructions, I have noticed a number of inconsistencies and would appreciate clarification as to whether these differences arise from:
Variations in the citation style files used by the software;
Software-specific adaptations of APA 7th Edition;
Known limitations or configuration settings within Zotero; or
Any updates to APA 7th Edition guidance that may not yet be reflected in the citation style.
For your reference, I have attached the APA 7th Edition guidance document together with examples of the discrepancies I have identified. I would be grateful if you could review these and advise whether Zotero's output is fully compliant with the official APA 7th Edition standard, or whether any adjustments are recommended.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response. i have attached a copy of screenshot of Endnote APA 7th style for referencing and bibliographies.

Here is an example of the variation in APA 7th referencing style:
