Upgrade StorageMoving Zotero from one PC to another
Got new workcomputer and want to install Zotero.
Naturally I want to keep my already existing zotero-archive.
So I copy the zotero data files to my new computer as recommended here:
https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_library
When I open zotero all my files are there but all the "info" on the articles where for example the bibtex-reference is are completely changed. Actually the bibtex-citation code is not there at all.
What did I do wrong?

dstillman Zotero TeamI'm not totally sure what you're saying here — Zotero isn't a BibTeX tool, so I don't know what you mean by "where for example the bibtex-reference is — but the Citation Key specifically is a feature of the Better BibTeX plugin, not Zotero.

bwiernikIf you mean the citation key is not showing at the top of the item info pane, install BetterBibTeX—that’s a feature of the plugin, not Zotero itself.
