I think that's a fairly easy to avoid scenario as things go.
If concurrent citation operations put the integrity of the document at risk, I assume that some sort of locking mechanism will be added to avoid them in software.
It's a beta, I'm sure it will be. Looking forward to using GD integration in instruction. We have mooting teams that will likely be all over this when it goes live.
Zotero plugin cannot work without the Google Docs tab and browser window active. Please do not switch away from the window until the operation is complete.
I'm using Firefox 59.0.2 (64-bit), Zotero 5.0.47-beta.1+b8e0c3f7e and Zotero Connector 5.0.38beta1.
My system is Ubuntu Mate 18.04 and the programs are in Brazilian Portuguese language.
My Google Docs account is also in Brazilian Portuguese.
When I insert a quote, the following error message appears:
[JavaScript Error: "responseJSON.response.result is undefined run@moz-extension://bb2706d0-e24b-4360-9d5d-6900aa1233aa/zotero-google-docs-integration/api.js:144:7 "]

However, the quote is inserted correctly, even with the error message.
I disabled the extensions Better Bib(la)Tex, RTF / ODF Scan and Zotfile, but the error message continues to appear.

If you have any suggestions, I'm ready to test the idea. I would like to be able to contribute more and not only indicate some error but I am not programmer. I believe that this integration with Google Docs will revolutionize the way many people work.
We have added some safety mechanisms that will prevent multiple users from concurrently editing citations, but due to technical limitations they are not perfect. You can probably break it if you try really hard, but under normal usage you shouldn't be concerned about issues with concurrent editing. If someone else is updating document citations and you try to do it too, you will get a prompt informing you that the document is locked and you should try to perform the operation later. Due to how the locking mechanism is implemented, a document could become permanently locked due to unforeseeable circumstances (such as google docs service failures), in which case you can manually override the lock.
1. I'm sometimes seeing weird behavior with regular links in google docs, i.e. when click on them, instead of showing the URLs, they show "Edit in Zotero". Unfortunately I haven't been able to reliably reproduce this. It just seems to sometimes happen sometimes not. It doesn't appear to be related to having used Zotero in a document, though.
2. Would you consider putting this (still marked as experimental and opt-in) into the non-beta connector? I'd love to start using this with people but while I can get them to enable an experimental feature, installing the beta connector is likely not going to happen.

It is available on release connectors by enabling integration.googleDocs.enabled hidden pref. However, the code is still volatile as it is being worked on for some features (e.g. exporting/importing Word docs). Once we feel that the code is likely to remain stable we will add the checkbox in connector preferences to the release connectors. You can try using the release version connector with the google docs, but we are only testing against the beta connector, so it could potentially stop working at any time.
I'm positively delighted by this news. I am not a confident enough troubleshooter to try the beta versions, but I am really excited about ANY possibility of a Google Docs plug-in!
While you can enable the google docs plugin in the stable connector via the advanced pref, we are still working on the plugin code and only keeping the Beta connector updated with it all. We'll be releasing the compatible plugin on all connectors soon, but for now you should stick to the Beta.
Great work! Very excited to have this functionality and everything seems to be working fairly well upon first testing (v. 5.0.40beta2). I did have an issue of the citation bar hanging when adding a citation, but restarting Zotero on my computer seemed to solve the issue.

After update to Zotero Connector 5.0.38beta2 I have this error:

Using Firefox on MacOS. The Firefox connector seems to be correctly installed.
The betas don't auto-update?they do.After update to Zotero Connector 5.0.38beta3 solved errors ID: 204160677 and ID: 1762691089.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can cite, it works pretty well
But I don't know how to add the complete bibliography at the end of the document. This option does not appear. Do I need to configure something?
windows 10, Firefox 60.0.1 and connector 5.0.40beta1
This happens when I cancel the citation and close the pop-up window. Zotero connector has an error, but I can continue working.
