Can’t Save Page - Yellow Folder Showing - Saves links on page but not Entire Page

Hello,
I'm trying to cite a syllabus: https://www.callingbullshit.org/syllabus.html. Instead of the usual gray page icon, I get the yellow folder icon, which I think means that there is the option of saving citations within that page. But when I try to save the page to zotero, I get the dialogue box asking me which of some of the articles listed on the page I want to save. I tried without checking any of the boxes, and got nothing. I tried clicking all of the boxes, and it saved citations to 4 files linked to by the page, but NOT a snapshot of entire page itself. I tried option clicking and got the same dialogue box.
I tried it in zbib, and again only got the option of which of the 4 links that it sees it wants me to save.
I'm guessing that I'm missing something fairly obvious.
When the yellow folder is showing as the icon, how do you save the whole web page as a snapshot?
  • Oh I forgot to say. I'm using Zotero 6.0.26 on an intel mac running OS 13.3.1, and Chrome version 112.0.5615.137.

    I did search these forums, and found threads where people had the yellow folder and wanted to save the component parts and couldn't, mostly involving worldcat and such. But I didn't see this particular problem.
  • right-click on the "Save to Zotero" icon --> Save to Zotero ---> Save to Zotero (Webpage with Snapshot)
  • Hello adamsmith,
    As usual, you solved my problem within minutes - this time 3 minutes flat.

    Why didn't I think of right clicking? I dunno. I tried it and it worked -- pronto. I guessed that it would be something obvious that I was missing, but I didn't think it would be this obvious.

    We teach students that there aren't stupid questions, just people who aren't as smart as they could be because they didn't ask. I'm hoping that's the case here. But I'm embarrassed enough to think this question was clueless enough to disprove it.

    In any case, thanks for your immediate solution.
  • No, this is very hard to find, there are a dozen or so threads on this exact issue here -- my understanding is that Zotero is actually planning to display the Save Webpage option in the same dialog as the multiple items (which come from DOIs on the page) to avoid this common confusion.
