Chrome extenstion: can I select the sub/collection in Zotero before saving the reference?

Hi all,

I recently switched to Zotero from Mendeley. Mendeley's Chrome extension had the option to select the sub/collection in which you want to save the reference before actually saving it. I wonder if we can do the same in Zotero, it seemed to me that when I first click on the Zotero extension, it saves the reference in the last selected collection (I guess), and if I need the reference elsewhere I need to change the collection and save it once more.

Thanks in advance!

    Just click the down-arrow in the save popup to show the collection tree and choose the collection or library you want to save to. (You can also select from one of the recent targets from the drop-down before expanding the popup.)

    If the popup closes, clicking the save button again before reloading the page will just reopen the same popup instead of saving again, and choosing a different collection will move the saved item there.

    Yes, it didn't save twice but moved the item. Thanks.
