Sharing Word document

I have a coauthor at another university. We are both using Zotero and the Zotero add-in for Word. I would like to be able to write a document including Zotero citations, then send it to my coauthor and let him add, remove, and edit citations.

Is that possible if we share a Zotero library? Do I need to share the whole library, which is thousands of items and would take him a long time to sync, or is there a way to just share the subset of references that are relevant to our collaboration?
  • The "textbook" method would be to use a group:
    https://www.zotero.org/support/groups
    I'd recommend doing that.

    It's technically not even necessary to share references to co-author a document: Zotero saves all relevant information in the document itself, but you need to be a little more careful when doing that (specifically, you need to make sure to always pick the reference listed under "Cited" in the -quick format - Word add-on).
