Upgrade StorageIssue viewing nested collections using iOS beta on iPhone
Thank you for including me as a beta tester for Zotero iOS. Very nice to have access!
One issue... I have a lot of collections in My Library, including different levels of subcollections. I can view the primary collections in Zotero iOS, but I can't view any of the subcollections within the primary collections. In some cases, I don't have any publications in the primary collection, just a link to a subcollection; e.g., My Library > Proposals > 2021 > NSF... When I view Proposals in Zotero iOS, there is nothing shown. So, I believe that Zotero iOS is currently not showing collections within collections.

dstillman Zotero TeamIf you're referring to "Show Items in Subcollections" from the desktop app, that's not currently supported in the iOS app.

vpwaldenActually I cannot view any subcollections. I can only see the items in my primary collections, but the subcollections are not visible. So the problem is that I cannot view any nested collections in Zotero iOS. This is independent of whether or not there are items in the primary (top-level) collection.

dstillman Zotero TeamYou have to tap the arrows to expand the collections.

stenti1I have the same issue. In a Collection that contains nested Subcollections, nothing appears--no Subcollection headers, no files. It appears empty. When I make that Subcollection a Collection on my desktop version, by moving the folder into My Library, the Collection then becomes available on mobile. I'm on iPhone iOS.

dstillman Zotero Team@stenti1: As I say above, you just need to tap the arrow along the right edge of the collection row to show its subcollections. They don't appear in the middle pane.

stenti1edited March 20, 2021[edited] Ok I got it to work. I was expecting a tap on the Collection to do the same thing, not take me to a blank pane. Just got a little confused.

dstillman Zotero TeamIt's not taking you to a blank pane — it's showing you the items in the collection. If there are no items in the collection, you won't see anything there.
