Upgrade StorageChange of export format seems to have no effect
Hello all,
When working with Zotero in sync with Overleaf, I came across the following issue:
For articles written by authors with names containing special characters like 'é', Zotero does not escape the character. On this forum I found that I should set the export format to anything other than 'UTF-8', which I did: I changed Preferences/Export/Character Encoding from (auto detect) to Western. However, it seems like nothing has changed after I press the sync button in Zotero as well as Overleaf, and Overleaf still crashes due to the unescaped characters.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Lennart

The setting in the preferences you changed is "Import Character Encoding" — that's about importing to Zotero, not exporting, and you should generally leave it on "(auto detect)". You choose the encoding for a Zotero export at export time, and that's where changing UTF-8 to Western would cause Zotero to use LaTeX escape sequences rather than Unicode. But that's only for exporting a .bib from Zotero, so unless you're doing that it's not relevant to Overleaf integration.
