Upgrade StorageUsing Magic Wand on existing entries in the library
I have linked to a lot of books using a bibtex file that was exported from other software. Included in the metadata are ISBNs, so I want to use the Magic Wand feature to auto-update the rest of the metadata, but it only seems to work with new entries.
Is there a way - either direct or some sort of workaround - to have Zotero use ISBNs that have been input (whether manually or via an import like this) to search for metadata?

dstillmanUpdating metadata is planned, but for now you can just use Add Item by Identifier again, select both items, and merge them, choosing the version/data you prefer.

bwiernikSuch a feature is planned but not currently available. For now, you can make a new entry with the Magic Wand, then merge the two items.
