Saving marked text from web pages by right clicking

knutatle · January 18, 2022

Hi there,

I really appreciate the feature where you can mark some content in a web page and then save it to Zotero. But if I mark and save several areas of a document, I will get a parent document for each part I mark in Zotero. This is not a huge problem, as I just drag and drop all of them into one of the parents and delete the others. But if there is a solution or a wishlist for future improvements, I would appreciate that as well :-)

Best regards,
Knut

Assuming you're referring to "Create Zotero Item and Note from Selection", see the second paragraph here:

Thanks for your comment! Yes, that's it, I back translated my non English version. I did read it all, but not sure I (get it or) understand it as a solution to my question. I work on Zotero standalone using Chrome as browser.

It's just saying there's not currently a way to add additional text to an existing note via the Zotero Connector, but there was in the past and likely will be again.

Thanks for the clarification and information. I hope you are right and will look forward to it.
