Merging collections

mansham
Hi,

I'm new to working with zotero. I'm trying to manage citations from different databases by creating collections. However, when I import a new search from a database it creates another collection. While I can move the new collection and enter as a subcollection under a broader collection group, I mostly just want a single collection for each group. Is there a way to merge subcollections with a broader collection group to get a single collection.

For example, I have:

1. Database (collection)
a. database search 1 (sub-collection)
b. database search 2 (sub-collection)

And I want:

1. Database (collection)
a. database search 1+2

Or just:

1. Database (collection = sub 1 + sub 2)

Please let me know how I can do this. Thanks so much for the help!

Best,
Mansha

    You can just drag items from one collection to another.

    Hi,

    Thanks so much! This was helpful. However, what if I have multiple items. Is it possible to select all at once and drag them to a folder. Please let me know!
