Upgrade StorageModifications of citations that I haven't done + replace all citations by the previous one
Hi
I have sometimes an issue (report 145646954) where Zotero open a dialog box saying I have made modifications to a citation and asking if I want to keep them or not. (Sorry, I don't remember the exact wording, and I am usually unsure about which answer will keep my original citation, I am a bit confused by the wording).
This time it happened when I tried to refresh a citation. I work on a large document (more than 100 pages), on Word for Mac 2016.
I thought 'no' would erase the modifications (that I actually had not made, not consciously at least), so I clicked on this. It went through all my citations, and through some Figures cross refs... and it moved all my citations to the next:
"blabla (A et al 2014) blibloblu (B et al 2015) blublabli (C et al 2016) Figure 26"
became:
"blabla blibloblu (A et al 2014) blublabli (B et al 2015) Figure (C et al 2016)"
What did I do wrong?
Zotero has become very slow, so I wonder if there were things happening in the background I wasn't aware of and I gave a conflicting command to the programme?
Many thanks!

dstillman Zotero TeamThat certainly shouldn't happen. I assume you didn't save that version over your good version? If you don't mind sending a copy of the document from before this happened to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread, we can see if we can reproduce this.
