    "Add citation" is still what it always used to do. Add a citation from your library in your text/footnote.
    The "Add note" button is new. See the release notes for more info: https://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-6/
  • aelasmar
    Thank you. But for me it's the same function. Both of the two buttons give the same result.
  • dstillman Zotero Team
    One should show a red dialog and one should show a yellow dialog. Is that not what you're seeing?
  • aelasmar
    yes one show a yellow dialog and the other a red one.
  • dstillman Zotero Team
    OK, so they're not the same, and they're working properly.
  • aelasmar
    Ok thank you.

    rebonjour,
    quand je clique sur "add note" dans word, il m'ouvre la fenêtre du "préferences du document" puis "ajouter/modifier la citation". j'ai essayé avec un autre ordinateur et ce n'est pas pareil il ouvre la boite de dialogue jaune. Merci pour votre aide

    Can you provide a Debug ID for it opening the citation dialog?

    No, see the instructions again. That just shows Zotero startup.

    No, that's from the Zotero Connector. This needs to be from the Zotero app, but it needs to actually include the operation in question.

    That's a Report ID.

    You already provided a Debug ID. It just didn't show you opening the citation dialog.

    All you need to do is follow the instructions in the section I'm linking to.

    Merci je viens de trouver la solution:
    Il faut décocher la case "utiliser la fenêtre classique d’ajout de citation" dans : éditions/ préférences/ citer/ traitements de texte. Redémarrer Zotero et Word et normalement ça fonctionne. Merci et bonne journée

    Ah, OK — that's a bug. We'll fix. Thanks.
  • dstillman Zotero Team
    @aelasmar: Fixed in 6.0.3, available now via Help → Check for Updates.
  • altugkoc
    Yes, it wasn't working in the "classic Add Citation dialog", now adding notes fixed. Thanks.

    Little off-topic: Please don't remove classic view in future. I think the classic view is much more useful when using prefixes and suffixes.
