Upgrade StorageCan't add any new citations to a large (1000+ footnotes) document
I wrote my dissertation and automated the citations using zotero. I wrote and annotated each chapter separately and zotero worked flawlessly with that; all my citations merged and shortened properly when I pasted these chapters into the one large document.
My problem: I'm in the final stages of revising the dissertation (400+ pages, 1000+ citations) and I occasionally need to add a citation (usually it's the one I used before, so it would appear shortened). Zotero keeps crashing during that stage and I'm unable to add any new citation to the document. It works flawlessly in empty or new documents. Did I reach the limit of processing, or is there a workaround to keep working with longer documents? I can't split the dissertation into separate chapters again, I'd need to work with this large file for the final revisions.

edit: also, what exactly do you mean by crashing? Crashing means closing down completely; it's distinct from freezing, which may just indicate you need to wait longer.
This is Microsoft Word processor for Mac (updated to the newest version), and iOS on MacBook Pro.
I experienced both crashing (of either Zotero or Microsoft Word or both; experienced by cursor changing to Mac's rainbow loading circle and then not responding at all) and freezing (of just Zotero with Word working normally). I gave freezing around 5 minute time before losing my patience and deleting the citation, should I wait longer?
There is no crash, the program is still running and will eventually complete the task. However, it will probably take hours to fully refresh the document (see for example https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/479045#Comment_479045 or https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/443390#Comment_443390 )
