Reorganize a collection into multiple collections

peranti · July 22, 2020

Hello,

I have a collection, named "Omics", of 100 items.

I would like to reorganize "Omics" into multiple collections ("Genomics", "Transcriptomics", "Metabolomics", etc) where an item is present in only one of these new collections.

Is there an option to move the items from one folder to another? I could only see option to copy by dragging them from one Collection to Another.

Thanks in advance for your help!

See https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#adding_items_to_collections

To move items between collections, hold down Cmd (Mac) or Shift (Windows/Linux) when dragging items to the new collection.

Hold the cmd key (macOS) or shift key (windows) while dragging to move the item instead of copying it.
