merging two accounts

StayCBeth

I haven't used Zotero in at least 6 months. At some point I created two different accounts. On some computers it logs into one, others the second. Is there any way to merge them? Also, I can't find a way to log out of which ever account is set-up through Firefox on the computer to log into the other account. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Stacey

well, you technically don't "log-in" to Zotero, except on the website (which has a logout button on the top right). It's important to remember that your Zotero library is on your local computer - hence you can't just "log in" to a different account.

The best way to merge two accounts is simply to set your sync preferences to one account on all machines and sync. Zotero will do the merging for you, though you'll have duplicate entries of all items that were in both accounts (there is duplicate detection and merging in the 3.0 version of Zotero).
