bibliography not automatically adding new references

MLlR
Zotero 5.0.74
Libre Office Version: 6.3.1.2
Build ID: 1:6.3.1~rc2-0ubuntu0.19.04.1~lo1

when I add a new citation in my document it does not add it to my Bibliography.
To test, I created a new writer document, inserted a bibliography and then added some sentences and then some citations. The citations were correctly added after the text but nothing was added in the Bibliography section. Help troubleshooting this appreciated.

    In the Document Preferences window from the Zotero toolbar in LO, is the “Automatically update citations box checked?”
  • MLlR
    yes, it is checked
  • bwiernik
    If you delete the bibliography and then re-insert it, are the items still missing?
  • MLlR
    Ok. Thank you for your help @bwiernik.
    It doesn't work when I insert bibliography using office libre writer but if I use the zotero buttons on the toolbar of a writer document to add the bibliography it works. Good enough.

    You would not happen to know if there is a keyboard shortcut in writer to add a zotero citation?
  • bwiernik
    Yes, Zotero and LibreOffice’s citation functions are completely separate and don’t interact with each other. Always use the Zotero functions.

    You can set a keyboard shortcut for the Zotero functions https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_shortcuts
