Endnotes option showing in Google Docs

This discussion was created from comments split from: Implementation of the Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition.
  • I'm using Chicago 18th ed notes-biblio dated 7/17/25 with GoogleDocs. I know that GoogleDocs does not inherently support endnotes, but this option appears via Document Preferences (see att'd screenshot). The option does not, however, work.

    Is this simply a non-functional option when using Zotero with GoogleDocs? I will need all citations formatted as endnotes when I submit the ms.; my (not preferred) backup plan is to convert to a Word processor and do this fix in Word.

    Thank you,

    Jim P.

  • Make sure you're running the latest version of Zotero (7.0.22). This was fixed a months ago.
  • Yes, I'm on 7.0.22 (see screenshot att'd).

    Happy to further diagnose on my end.

    Regards,

  • Hi, bumping this request. I'm now on Z latest (7.0.24). When I indicate endnotes for Chicago 18th ed notes/bibliography, should I see current footnotes migrated to end of document? Perhaps I am misunderstanding the functionality of this option.

    Thanks,

  • No, Google Docs doesn’t support endnotes. The option shouldn’t show up there.
  • OK, we are now on the same page.

    Quick note that if I have previously selected Chicago 18th notes-biblio style I *do* see that endnote option, but when I select another style, then go back to 18th notes-biblio, the option disappears.

  • Did you import this document with Endnotes into Google Docs by any chance? If you did, that's most likely the reason why the option was available in the first place.
  • Hi, no, it was created from scratch in GoogleDocs. But it *was* originally in Chicago author-date format; that's the only thing that may be different.
