Word bibligraphy has citations that don't seem to be in library
I have a word document with zotero bibliography that has entries that I cannot find in my zotero library. The word doc was originally mendeley, but now it's zotero. Is this something that others have experienced? Is there a way to troubleshoot this? For example, in the bib, I have this entry:
Chen, A., Lu, Y., Chau, P. Y. K., & Gupta, S. (2015). Classifying, Measuring, and Predicting Users’ Overall Active Behavior on Social Networking Sites. Journal of Management Information Systems, 31(3), 213
But a search of all fields and tags of my library doesn't turn anything up. What's interesting is that if I delete the bibliography and readd it, it shows up in the bib, matching the in-text citation.
What's up with that?
Thanks!

What to do for troubleshooting depends on what the actual trouble is -- what do you want to happen?
On the troubleshooting front, it'd be swell if you could place your cursor in a citation or bibliographic reference and navigate to the corollary in the doc and in the database. i.e. have a right click menu ->show citations / -> show bib / show zotero entry... Tall order, I'm sure :)
To see if an item is Zotero or Mendeley, you can toggle field codes -- they look a bit different for the two: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/word_field_codes
I am working on a word document in which I had entered sources via Zotero.
I now realise that some Zotero sources (active field codes) appear in the document but no longer exist, I don't know why, in my personal library.
Is there a way to update the personal library in the Zotero application to include those Word sources that no longer appear there?
WHAT TO DO IF "SHOW ITEM IN MY LIBRARY" DOESN'T APPEAR IN A REFERENCE CITED IN WORD? HOW TO SAVE THE REFERENCE?
However, if you duplicate items after using it make sure to merge them before to not create more problems down the line.
