Import referencein stand alone and all my library is gone

Hello!
I have been using a standalone version of zotero on my computer for many years without any problem.
I was adding all my references myself, without using the import tool.
I just tried to and as I imported 1 ref, it worked really well but all my other references vanished and I can't seem to see them anywhere.

Any idea of where this might have been?

  • Have you tried just restarting Zotero?
    4.0.28.7
    Also note, this version of Zotero is 1.5 years old, so you should upgrade to the latest version.
  • Hi!
    I have found the problem, the library section on the left was hidden, because I never use it, so I had forgotten it existed.
    Until I found it I had retrieved my last automatic backup which worked fine. I only lost 5 ref doing so.

    But now as I have played in my backup and stuff it seems that this morning my Zotero is mixed up and does not know where to get my library.

    It says that it did not know where to grab the info from.
    Should I desinstall, install a newer version and then Sync it with my online library?
  • It says that it did not know where to grab the info from.
    We'd need an exact error message.

    You can sync, but you'd be much better off first just switching back to the database file you were using.
