Safe to use sync preview

DrBo6

Me and a colleague are considering to use the sync preview to be able to work on our book from home. We'll start writing next week, and I was wondering whether a) the sync preview is stable enough for this, or b) when does the next stable version of zotero come out?

Tnx

I've had good luck with it... I'd say just be smart about it...

1. Start using it on a copy of your zotero folder, not your original.
2. Export the data as an rdf every now and then...
3. Export in something else common rarely - maybe bibtex.

If you do that, then I would guess it won't really matter what sorts of problems you run into - you could easily switch backwards at any time.

Lastly, be aware that somethings don't work with sync-preview. For example, I think the word plugin doesn't work yet.

The Word plugin should work.

Thanks Dan - I never noticed the version there... I had always been going to the plugins list. Glad to see that.
