Upgrade StorageIf an older version of Zotero goes into sync mode, will it wipe out new data?
I have Zotero on two computers. I've been using it on my new computer for 6 months and havent touched Zotero on the old computer. I know want to sync them so I can use both. I want to make sure I have this right so I dont accidentally delete my library.
If I turn on the old computer and load Zotero, I should sync it and then it will bring in the new data, erase entries that I had recently erased on my new computer, and modify ones I changed? I do not want it to add entries that are on the old computer that I had deleted or to replace the entries I modified on the new computer with the ones on the old.
That being the case, do I want to simply ask the old computer/older Zotero library to go into sync mode?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Before you sync your old computer you should make sure to empty your trash (the Zotero trash - the file system trash is irrelevant) and then sync the new one so that the deleted items are actually deleted.
One question: where is the Zotero trash? You mean in the program, not a separate file, correct?
