Cannot add refs to group library

dfilipkowski
Hi all,
I created a group with a folder on the web. That folder is not showing up under my library on the Zotero toolbar in Firefox. Also, I see no possible way to drag items from my Zotero toolbar's local copy to the group folder on the Zotero website. Everything appears to be syncing because I see the refs I added on the web but I have no way of moving them from My Library to the group library. Help!

    You can only drag items to the group in the local copy of Firefox once it has synced. If you have a group online at zotero.org but not in your local copy of zotero, either you're not, in fact, synced

    or you're simply overlooking it:
    Groups show up at the bottom of the left hand panel under "Group Libraries" - next to "Group Libraries" is a small triangle, clicking on it will hide/unhide group libraries.

    Hello
    I cannot add to the group in my Group Libraries. It has synced but when I attempt to drag a reference from my Library to the project in Group Library - nothing happens. Any help / advice appreciated.

    Do you have write permissions to the group library?
  • aurimas
    To check if you have write permissions, try creating an item in the group library using the green + button in the Zotero toolbar (if it's not grayed out). If you can't or the button is grayed out, you would need to ask the group administrator to enable the write permissions in Group Settings

    Thank you so much for your helpful response and apologies for the double post.The buttons are grayed out so will contact the administrator as advised.
    many thanks once again
