PDF Synchronisation

I have a few related issues involving PDF synchronisation:

1. PDF's in my Group library is not automatically updating to the exact same paper in my personal library.
2. In my personal library, pdf's in one folder is not updating to papers in a different folder that is also in my library.
3. Not all pdf's on my desktop is visible on the web library and not all pdf's in my web libarary is visible in my desk top library.

I have tried search for full text to connect these pdf's that are already in one part of the library with the paper that does not have the pdf but it does not see the pdf within Zotero itself.

It seems like a general syncing issue. Please help!

    I'm not sure what you mean by "not automatically updating to the exact same paper" or "not updating to papers in a different folder".

    But if you're not seeing the same items in your library on different devices, see Changes Not Syncing, and provide the requested info if you're still having trouble.
  • Thanks for reverting.

    There are a few issues but let me just focus on this main one. I will try and be a bit more specific.

    1. I have papers in Group Library that has pdf's attached.
    2. I then copied some of these papers into My Library.
    3. The papers from the Group Library are reflecting in My Library but the pdf's that are in Group Library are not reflecting in My Library for these papers.
    4. The papers got copied across but not the pdf's.
    5. I have synced both the desktop and online versions of Zotero on multiple occassions but no change.

    I hope this helps to clarify.

    Currently, if you previously copied the items between libraries without attachments, you'll need to delete the original items in the target library. Otherwise those items will just be skipped in the drag and the attachments won't be transferred.
