Notes: "Show Item" vs "Show on Page"

I'm loving the versatility of Zotero notes these days, and have moved most of my work flow directly into Zotero.

There's a feature I'm not understanding fully that I'd like to make better use of.

When I make a note from a text excerpt by selecting it and clicking "add to note", there appears the ability to "Show on Page" (first image), which is very useful in a big document! However, after I click away from that focus and back, instead I see only the ability to "Show Item" (second image) which directs me only to the document as a whole.

Is there a way to get access to "Show on Page" again later?

(Sorry -- I don't know why the first image comes up huge!)

  • Ok. Sorry I just figured this out myself, but maybe I should leave this here in case someone else has the same misunderstanding.

    The "solution" is that I need to hover on the text of the note, not the citation, to get "Show on Page".

    Feeling silly...
