ZoteroBib - any way to restore bibliography after cache cleared?

emh512 · February 22, 2020

In the future, I know to create a link to save the bibliography ... I have been working on this paper for months and would be thrilled to know if there is a way to restore the bibliography deleted from my cache. Any ideas?

Meaning you cleared your browser cache and the bibliography disappeared?

I'm afraid not, no, unless you have a link, or if you loaded a link on another browser or computer and loaded that version into the local storage there.

While saving a link is the way to make a backup, if you're working on something for months, I'd strongly recommend using Zotero over ZoteroBib. ZoteroBib is really intended for one-off bibliographies for short-term projects.

Yes, I cleared the browser cache. I copied the bibliography into a google doc around two months ago, so that's a start.

Google docs was dragging. It seemed to be 3-5 words behind all the time, and clearing the cache fixed that problem but created another.

Thanks for your response.
