Zotero searching only 'My Library'

Frithhooton

Hello,
I've now got Zotero working with the thesis I am proofreading, so that's great. However, when I ask it to insert a citation it goes direct to 'My Library'. I want it to go to the collection I have started in the author's name, which is a sub-collection of 'My Library'. Could you let me know if there is a way of getting it to do this?
Many thanks in advance,
Frith

You could use the classic insert citation dialog instead. Check the option under "Cite" in the Zotero preferences and it will default to that version, which shows the collection tree.

You can't select a collection with the quick format bar, though.

Ok, mystery to me at present, but thank you very much for taking the trouble to answer. I will try that.
All best wishes,
Frith
