My reference list are gone when I wrote and add more references

Qingli_Xu · February 15, 2023

Hello there,

I just came across an issue that all my references crated by Zotero (APA 7) are gone. I refreshed the file and tried clicking the in-text reference, the reference list is still empty. I tried to copy a paragraph from another file to the file whose references are gone, it still did not work. The in-text references are grey, and I did not unlink them. How can I get the referenece list back, please? It's over 10-page references.
Thank you very much,
Qingli

Did you click on the "Add bibliography" button? What happens?

And citations are certainly still active? See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/existing_citations_not_detected

Thank you very much. I figured it out. I re-started my laptop and added one new reference, then I clicked add/edit biliography after I put the mouse in the section of references. Then all the references appearing, including the new one.
