Adding Choices

When adding a website:

What is the difference between w snapshot, without and save with metadata? (A "preview" would be a wonderful feature.)

If you save in one fashion, ex. without metadata, can you have the metadata added automatically later?

If you add a webpage, Zotero automatically adds it to the last folder chosen. Can you have Zotero ask where to save before saving?

If you find you've saved several items to the wrong folder, what's the easiest way to move them to the desired folder?

    A snapshot is an archived version of the webpage that Zotero will, by default, add when saving webpages.
    Embedded Metadata is data (of varying quality) that Zotero extracts from the header of the webpage--i.e. if you save with that option you will typically get more details into Zotero.
    If you save in one fashion, ex. without metadata, can you have the metadata added automatically later?
    Not currently, no. Planned for journal articles and probably some other item types, but very likely not for less structured items like webpages.

    If you add a webpage, Zotero automatically adds it to the last folder chosen. Can you have Zotero ask where to save before saving?
    no.

    If you find you've saved several items to the wrong folder, what's the easiest way to move them to the desired folder?
    you can use shift+drag (cmd+drag on Mac) to refile items to a different collection.
