Upgrade StorageCreate library folder in Zotero from Microsoft Word Doc
Hello! I was wondering if there was a way to create a folder from only the references that are actually cited in a Word Doc.
For example, my team uses a shared Library folder with 250 references in it. We only cite 50 of those references within our Word Doc. Is there an easy way to create a new Library folder that only includes the 50 cited references? Thanks!

For now, you can use the Reference Extractor tool (https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/) to scan your document, then click the button there to select all of the items in your library, then drag these together to a collection.
You can also try whether this Word document works: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xf4up9j4mmaadli/ref-extractor-test.docx?dl=1. If it does, that would rule out your browser as the problem.
If you can share your Word document (the original or a small test version), I can take a look at that too, and try it on my system. I can give you my email address if you want to try that, just let me know.
If you have word processor documents or pdf documents you can use AnyStyle to facilitate (magically) converting the bibliography to something that can be imported to Zotero: https://anystyle.io/ You will likely need to do some "training" of AnyStyle but if you have many references to capture and convert it will be worth your time.
Is there an update on this feature?
I would love to move all the citations in my thesis to its own folder.
