Display on desktop Zotero looks different
Hello,
I recently updated my desktop Zotero and now the display looks different (color, font, organization), and it appears to match the Zotero online display much more closely. Before, when I normally would click a source, there were tabs on the right-hand column at the top for "info" and "notes" making it super quick and easy to access my source notes. Now, I have to scroll through all of the source info, abstract, and an image of the article just to get to my notes at the bottom of the column.
Is there a way to switch back to the previous display style? Accessing my notes in the column immediately after clicking a source is my top priority, but in general I miss the entire old display. Any tips you have would be much appreciated!!

You can just click on the note icon on the right, no need to scroll through the various sections.
You can also right-click on "Notes" and pin that section to the top so it's always the first thing you see.
Most of the notes I have taken in Zotero were not within a "note" I created for a source. When I would click a source, the right column would contain just a little bit of source info and immediately below was a large open area for typing. I would use this area for my notes, but when I would select a source they were not stored under "notes." This open area of typing would only appear for sources made by Zotero after I uploaded a PDF. For whatever reason, this typing space never appeared when I manually created a source.
While I can see the notes I officially created as attached to my sources, all of the notes I typed in this open space for all of my sources are currently missing as far as I can tell. Does anyone know how to locate these? Many thanks.
