Upgrade StorageCan't sync online library to a new computer
Using zotero 4.0.8 and zotero for word (mac) 3.5.7, I am trying to get my library to sync to a new computer. I've entered my password in the firefox add-ins manager and ticked 'Sync automatically', but nothing happens, and my library is not copied across.
The advice I can find on the forum is to check the 'Zotero pane' for a report on synching, but I don't know where this is (and suspect it might be a feature of using the standalone Zotero). Likewise I cannot find any controls to force a sync manually. Can anyone advise?

paul1970OK, figured this one out... the hardest thing with using any tool seems to be to understand the vocabulary with which the highest level controls are described... once one has a specific control, most software is self evident..

Just for posterity: the term "Zotero pane" originates from Zotero for Firefox, which by default appears at the bottom of the Firefox browser window (see the screenshot at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Zotero_2.0.9_recognizing_references_on_Wikipedia.org.png ), and the manual sync button is on top-right of the Zotero pane.
