Missing files

megan.t.stevenson
I just noticed that a number of my files are missing. The parent item is there but the PDF is not. I am getting the following error: "It may have been moved or deleted outside of Zotero, or, if the file was added on another computer, it may not yet have been synced to zotero.org." I don't remember doing anything that would have deleted these files…? Unless it arose from deleting duplicates or something? Also, is there an easy way to automatically re-download the PDF in such a situation?

    Assuming the files were added elsewhere, see Files Not Syncing.

    There's no way for this to occur on the same computer where you added the files unless you or something else (e.g., a disk-cleaning tool) deleted files outside of Zotero, and even if you did that, if you're using file syncing the files would be available online and would be re-downloaded.
