Error message and won't insert citations Report 1691583197

Hello, I had a citation that was showing the footnote source as if it were the first instance, and I was pretty sure it was not. I deleted the citation intending to insert it again. Now every time I try to insert a new citation anywhere in the document, I'm getting an error message that says "Footnotes or endnotes must start at 1 if numbering is not continuous. I've got 8 chapters in this dissertation, each of which is a new section where the footnote numbering begins at 1. I've tried saving and exiting the document and closing Zotero and then reopening both, but still get this message. Help!

    I've tried deleting the bibliography, but that doesn't help.

    Here's the error report 1691583197

    Seems to be tied to one section of the document but for the life of me I can't see why. New error report. 980406088.
    I am planning to retype in that section. But I'd still like help.

    Can you insert a footnote just in Word, without Zotero? I don't think that's a Zotero error message.

    Yeah, it is a Zotero error message, and I posted two error report numbers. I did find the problem though, it had to do with a section break.

    (The error was displayed in Zotero, but it's not a Zotero error — that message doesn't exist in Zotero code.)

    OK, thanks.
