Filtering documents without tags

marcosp2019
I've been using Zotero as a main support tool for the writing of my master thesis, however there's something I haven't been able to do: I tag every document I read, not only to categorize them, but as a way to mark that I've actually read them. The problem with this approach is that I haven't found a way to filter or find all documents which have no tags attached (which would be my remaining "to do list"). Is there a way to do so? I've also searched the extensions and couldn't find anything that would suit this need. Any tips?

    Do an Advanced Search for 'Tag' 'does not contain' '%'. Click "Save search". This will create a special Saved Search collection for items without any tags.

    You could also do 'Tag' 'is not' 'read' (or whatever your tag indicating that you've read the item is).

    Or, for future needs, mark every new item with a tag (e.g. "pending") and then delete that tag when you have read the article. At any point, items with "pending" will be your not read list.
