Upgrade StorageMS word plug in not updating so I can't cite all my references
Many of references I have in Zotero will not show up when I try to cite them with the MS word addon. I have tried reinstalling the addon. I do not know how to update the addon to reflect new additions to my Zotero database.

aurimasAre those references just PDF files? Files need to be attached to Zotero items (i.e. metadata) in order to cite. You can right-click the file and either Retrieve Metadata or Create Parent Item.

moanaYes, there are all references not just pdf files.

aurimasMy next best guess is that you're using two different instances of Zotero (Zotero Standalone and Zotero in Firefox) and they are not configured to share the same data directory. See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/sharing_data_directory#how_do_i_know_if_my_data_directories_are_shared if that may be the case.

adamsmithAnother thought would be that you're looking at your library online--the Word add-on draws on the local library, so you need to make sure that you're fully synced.
