How to switch accounts in Zotero

Asker · September 26, 2019

Zotero on my computer is logged into an account/syncronized to a library that I use for work. I would like to quickly be able to switch to a private account with my own library. How can I do this?

Doesn't work for me. Now there are two profile folders, but when I switch account and sync, all data in the accounts erazed and they become identical. Cannot have two separate databases for both profiles.

@Novigenix: You're not setting it up right. The profiles need to use different data directories. That should happen by default, but you can check and adjust it if necessary in the Advanced → Files and Folders pane of the Zotero preferences.
