Articles as part of edited books - only manual adding?

Jonathan Catherall
Sorry for newbie question
I am reading a useful book that is an edited collection of contributions. I already have the ref for main book (Cambridge companion) in Zotero. I have seen how one can add editor, contributor with little buttons in Info section, but how do I individuate in order to be able to generate an additional entry within zotero itself that says ‘Nostromo’(the name of the article/section), Knapp Hay, Eloise in The Cambridge Companion to Joseph Conrad, ed Stape, J.H. ?

(And how does this work when it comes to citation?)

Do I have to add a whole manual record as a 'book section'?? typing in all the details from The Cambridge Companion?
  • Gracile
    Duplicate your item (The Cambridge Companion) then change the type of your duplicated item from "Book" to "Book Section".

    What Gracile says, but to be clear, yes, each chapter from an edited volume is a separate item - using duplicate item just prevents you from having to repeat most of the information.
    Hierarchical items are planned, but that's a long way out.
