Changed from Vancouver style to Elsevier (Vancouver) and now the whole bibliography is corrupt

Hi,
I changed the style of my referencing from Vancouver to Elsevier (Vancouver) just to have square brackets as was required of the journal I am submitting to.
I know cannot add/edit any of my references? If adding a new reference, I get this message:
"You have modified this citation since Zotero generated it. Editing will clear your modifications. Do you want to continue?

Original: (64–66)
Modified: [64–66]"

I don't seem to be able to restore the references? Please help!


  • That would happen if you manually modified the citation text (e.g., rather than actually switching styles). It could also happen if something went awry with Track Changes or some other document-wide change. You can just say No to overwrite the manual changes and allow Zotero to continue updating the citations.
