When I use Zotero with Word, do I need to make all of my endnotes with Zotero?
When I use Zotero with Word, do I need to make all of my endnotes with Zotero? In other words, can I create some endnotes with Word and others with Zotero and not worry that Zotero might update my document later and wipe out something in an endnote that I entered in Word?
Additionally, if I create an endnote with Zotero and then want to add additional text to it, can I do that directly in Word or it is better to edit the endnote in Zotero?
Are there any downsides to creating some endnotes with each program, or am I better off creating all of my endnotes with Zotero?
I am using Word for Mac 16.42 and Mac OS 10.15.7
Thanks

If you generate a note with Zotero, you should only add additional text using prefix and suffix. You can, however, create a note with Word and insert a Zotero citation into it and then add additional text in Word. Note that punctuation might be tricky in some situations: all standard Zotero notes end with a period.
I have will many citations so I just want to be sure that I am doing this correctly: I can create an endnote in Word and then add a Zotero citation into it. At that point, I can write in the endnote before and after the citation. And I don't have to worry about Zotero later updating the citation and losing the additional text I created? Is it also OK to create an endnote in Word, type some text, like an identifying phrase, add a Zotero citation, and then add additional text afterwords? If so, then I will simply create all my endnotes in Word and then add Zotero citations into them.
