Upgrade StorageCan collaborators add items to my Zotero library, or shall I create a group library?
Hi team!
I like Zotero because it integrates well with Overleaf. I can add a reference to my Library via the Firefox plugin, sync my Zotero desktop app to my online library, refresh my "references_zotero.bib" file on Overleaf (which is linked to my personal Zotero library), and then easily reference the newly-added items from Zotero in my paper.
I've been writing a paper solo in this way. So far, so good. But now, I'd like to invite an undergraduate collaborator to help me work on this Overleaf paper. My question: can I allow my undergraduate collaborator to add references to my library from their computer? Or would it be better to import my personal Zotero library into a Group library so that my collaborator and I can both add items to it?
Happy to clarify if my goals or this workflow description are unclear. Thanks!
Tom

aborelNon-authoritative answer: yes, go for a group library so that you don't need to share all the details of your personal Zotero account with your collaborators.

bwiernikI suggest a group library. If you want, you could treat it as an “inbox” and drag the items to your My Library and delete afterward.
