Losing manual tags after update to Zotero 9.0.1.

EKaske
I updated Zotero on one computer. Then I lost the manual tags on the other computer where I was still working with Zotero 7.0.32. Then I looked into Web Library. Tags are no longer displayed there either. No color. Only automatic tags are displayed (I'd rather get rid of those). It seems that individual entries still have their manual tags. How to restore visibility? It is a bit urgent, because I do not dare to reopen my "good" computer out of fear that synchronization will wreck that, too. I did not find any information on the internet, and AI suggestions sound somewhat complicated and risky. Please help! Thanks.

    Updating Zotero shouldn't have any effect on your colored tags (not "manual tags" — that's just the term for regular, non-automatic tags), but you do appear to have somehow deleted them today. It's possible you have some plugin that affected this. It's just a list, though — the actual tags are still on the items. You can just assign the relevant tags colors again.

    Thank you so much for your reply. I have no clue how I could have possibly deleted the manual tag colors. Initially, I also did not find the manual tags when I searched. Now I realized that they were hiding among the automatic tags. I found them and reassigned color. Thanks again for timely help. I appreciate it. Best wishes, Elisabeth
