syncing issues
hi i am trying to sync my online library with that of my laptop app - there is one collection in particular that i am sorting through and moving papers from - i have removed 30 or so in the last day but this is not reflected in my online library - all the other collections seem to be syncing - please help? i should be able to work online and for the work to automatically sync to my desktop right? so far i have been working the other way around - from my desktop app but i want to work the other way around incase my laptop were to crash etc --- many thanks for help!
If there's an item that's appearing in a collection online that you removed it from locally, what happens if you make another change to that item (e.g., adding it to another collection, adding a temporary tag, changing a field, etc.) and then sync? Is it removed from the original collection online?
This shouldn't happen — changes you make anywhere should sync with everywhere else — but we can't debug it at this point. As I say, we'd need a Debug ID for actually making a change and syncing without the change being applied. You should always use the desktop app for any significant work.
For now, for this issue, I'm saying to drag the items into a new collection in the desktop app, and all of the items' local collection memberships should be synced up to the online library.
If so, we’d want to see a Debug ID for dragging the items into a collection and syncing and having them not appear online in all the collections they’re in locally.
2) In local Zotero, start debug output logging.
3) Drag the item to a temporary collection.
4) Sync.
5) Submit the debug output.
6) Tell us the name of the item, the name of the collection it shouldn't appear in (and doesn't locally), and the name of the temporary collection.
