Upgrade StorageIssue with Zotero deactivating and unlinking once shared with a non-Zotero-using colleague
I have seen similar but different posts relating to an issue that I'm having. I'm hoping someone here can help...
I collaborate with colleagues who do not use Zotero. I am the primary author on these documents, some of which are quite bit--one being a thesis. Is there a way that I can share a Word document with my colleagues, enable them to Track Changes and edit a file, without it deactivating Zotero once I receive it back?
To date, whenever one colleague in particular has edited a document, it has come back to me with all Zotero links deactivated. That is, when I mouse over the references, they no longer highlight. And when I click on some Zotero Word plug-in buttons trying to reengage/reconnect Zotero, nothing seems to work. It only starts up as if it were a new document with no existing references.
Any thoughts on how best to address this going forward so I don't lose all references every time we collaborate and so I don't have to migrate the colleague's changes over manually every time? Should I perhaps unlink auto updates? Or delink it before sending and then relink it when receiving it back? Please advise.

You need to make sure your colleagues are not doing any of the things listed in the above page that break citation links.
