Is there a Share extension on iOS?

I just happened to get a recommendation to use Zotero today, which happens to be a day of big changes! I do a lot of work from my iPad, and I'm not finding a way to add items to the library from there. I've installed the JavaScript bookmarklet, and every time I use it, I'm asked to sign into my Zotero account. For some reason it doesn't remember me, and always gives me an error without saving anything to my account.

Also, in reading about the iOS client, I see this: "Easily save items and PDFs from the web to Zotero via the Share button in Safari or other apps (other browsers, Twitter, etc.)". I've installed the iOS app, but there doesn't seem to be anything from Zotero in the list of apps that have a share extension in Safari (or any other apps). Is that share extension part of the released app?
  • Yes, there's a Share extension. There was some bugginess with share extensions (Zotero and others) not showing up in older iOS versions, but we haven't heard of that happening in a while. Make sure you're running a current version of iOS. If you are, restart your iPad.
  • I've answered my own question, but am writing in hopes that it will help someone else: restarting the iPad allowed the share extension for Zotero to populate the share menu.
