Limited Tags in Zotero Online

BirchbarkEnvironmentalResearch · 2025-04-01T18:50:07+00:00

I have created a Group library with 1200 documents and 200 tags. This allows for rapid and efficient searching of the library.
However, Zotero online only shows around 20 tags and I cannot figure out how to make it show all my tags. Is there a a way to do so?

Normally, more tags should load as you scroll the tag selector pane, but I assume that's not working?

When you toggle "Show Automatic" (from the three-dots menu at the bottom of the tag selector) off and on again, does it eventually load the remaining tags?

Thanks tnajdek.

I have toggled 'Show Automatic' and all the tags appear. However, about 50 random tags appear at the start of the list before the rest are shown in alphabetical order. This makes searching for tags very difficult. How can I ensure that they are in alphabetical order?

The library is public: https://www.zotero.org/groups/5814951/wetland_mitigation_options_bibliography/library

I want users to be able search the library using the tags fields, so I need them to be in order.

Also, I want to make it easy on users, so I do not want them to have to toggle the 'Show Automatic' selector to show the tags. Thanks.

Toggling "Show Automatic" should not be required; it was just a way to confirm the issue and can be used as a workaround. We will address both issues (some tags not immediately appearing and tags being sorted incorrectly), but I cannot provide a timeline. For now, the best approach is to use the filter box below the tag selector to find the required tag.

Both issues should now be resolved. Thank you for reporting!
