Converting Word doc with Mendeley citations to Zotero?

cormanaz
I am converting from Mendeley to Zotero. I have exported by references from Mendeley and imported them to Zotero. All good.

Now, I have a paper I was in the middle of writing that uses Mendeley for citations. Is there some way to convert that to Zotero without deleting and re-inserting all the citations manually?

    First, to be clear, you don't want to export and import from Mendeley. If that's what you did, you should clear your Zotero database and use the official importer.

    [Update, March 2023: Removed note about existing documents. Zotero can now automatically relink Mendeley citations in existing documents.]

    Hi! For some reason, Zotero isn't linking Mendeley citations in my word document. I imported my mendeley citations from the zotero app (latest version). Any help?

    @omarou: Zotero can't currently reuse citations created with Mendeley Cite, only Mendeley Desktop.
