Autonomous snapshots disappeared in Zotero 5
Hello,
A useful feature has unfortunately disappeared with Zotero 5: the ability to take a snapshot of a website and to attach it with a reference, *independently* of adding a new one.
I explain. When I'm working on a reference already saved in my library, if I want to attach with it a new snapshot, I can't do it automatically. It often happens, for example when I want to archive the graphical evolution of a website.
There is only two workarounds: 1/ resaving the reference "with snapshot"; or 2/ taking a snapshot with Firefox, manually saving and attach it.
However, with Zotero 4 it was easy to do. We had just to select the reference and ask for snapshot.
How could retrieve this process with Zotero 5 ? Can we consider the option of adding a new item in the connector called "Attach a snapshot" ?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Was the come back of this feature already planned ? Or is it because of my message ?
P.S: we might also need a "Attach the link" feature... :-)
