How to copy my entire zotero library to group zotero library?

Samyavc
Hi everyone,

My colleagues would like to start using zotero and we want to have a group library. However, I had all relevant papers and subfolders created in a personal library. How do I share this personal library in the group? Or can I change the type of my library from personal to group?

Thank you!

    You can select all items and drag them to the group library, and then drag each top-level collection. (It's not currently possible to copy all collections at once, but that's planned.)

    Hello, what about the PDF documents, notes and highlights that we have in our private library, how can we share them in our group library?

    There are some checkboxes in Settings-General-Groups. You can decide on the child parts to share in your group library.

    Hello everyone,

    I have just begun copying my personal library to a group library I just created of which I am currently the only owner and user. In the beginning, I would drag and drop collection by collection and they would copy nicely into the new group library, with all items and attachments. But at a certain point, this procedure stopped working. I have an unlimited storage plan. Could anyone helpt? Thanks.

    @garabedian: If you've already dragged a collection, dragging it again won't do anything. (A future version might improve things to allow previously dragged collections to be updated, though it's a complicated problem.)
