Zotero can't snapshot a google doc

avenell
Hello all,

Using Google chrome here with Standalone and the Google Chrome plugin installed.

Whenever I save a google doc, the snapshot just points to a URL that asks me to login to Google Docs - essentially, there is no snapshot.

Can someone tell me how to make Zeroto both reference and save an offline snapshot of a google doc?

Thanks in advance!

Josh

    I don't think you'll be able to take a snapshot of a google doc. The code running those is way too complicated for snapshots to work. You can, obviously, use google drive itself to save google docs, including for offline access.

    As for referencing: You'd reference a google doc no other than a Word doc you found online, i.e. you identify what type of source it is (perhaps a manuscript?) and then as much information about it as possible (author, date of creation, etc.) and put that in manually. There's no way to automate that.

    Thanks Adam, that's exactly what I needed to know :)
