Add-in for online Word/OneDrive MS Office 365
Zotero reference manager is used by thousands of scientists, and it is rapidly growing to be the most used reference manager. My university, as many others, is moving to include Microsoft 365, the online word processor and other apps are great for collaborative writing of a paper. However, we are stuck using google docs, as the Zotero reference manager plugin dose not work in the web app for the word processor. Would be great if the developers invest effort in making an add-in, as this would certainly make many of us migrate from google docs to the web app versions of Word in microsoft office 365

Unformatted citations were actually always my *preferred* method of citing while writing with Endnote. I much preferred them to dealing with plugins for formatted citations (albeit Endnote's handling of unformatted citations was a little smoother than Zotero's, being all handled within the word processor). I had my library open on a second monitor for checking references, so I knew what author/year to type as the unformatted citation. eg {Smith et al., 2009}. Or you can use drag-and-drop Quick Copy (set to RTF Scan format in Preferences\Export) to avoid needing to type the unformatted citation.
I always found unformatted citations significantly faster during writing than formatted citations. And unformatted citations are actually more robust for collaboration in many ways (footnotes/endnotes complicate that somewhat) - because during draft paper circulation there are no formatted citations to be inadvertently flattened by colleagues (when they try to edit citations or save to the wrong file format).
Hopefully zotero will follow suit soon. :-)
