How to Add a New Type of Reference
Hi,
Using Beta 5.0.97-beta.63+035aac30f
Among the types of references offered the default set starts with book, and the "More" list expands to end with "Video Recording".

Is there any way I can add to this list? So that I could create my own category of reference, thereby expanding the list?
If possible, I'd like to have my "New" category to be included in the default set at the top.
Thanks,
CC

You might find what you're looking for that way.
Ah! New user here, so forgive me if I'm asking the obvious! :P :D

ONCE YOU CREATE AN ITEM YOU CAN CHANGE THE ITEM TYPE
Sorry, for example - I have an Item Type as Journal Article right now. I couldn't see any way to change that. I clicked. Right-clicked. How can I do that?
Thanks!

I'm assuming that you are using the Zotero application and not the Zotero website. I'm not sufficiently familiar with web library functions to know if this is possible there.

Never-mind. I just tested and when using the web library, after clicking 'edit' the same is true online like with the local application.
At any rate, and at this time, the Zotero version that runs from your computer is much more powerful and flexible than the web version.
As for the menu, the list of five types in the first menu will just be the most recently used types once you've actually created items.
Got it.
Thanks!
