Zutilo not working - due to batch edit coming?

tina_cardona
Hi there,

I've been using Zutilo to make batch updates to a large library I'm trying to wrangle, but all the sudden it stopped working. I redownloaded Zutilo to ensure I had the latest version, even though it should've already been, to no avail. The desktop Zotero application is essentially rejecting that plugin and removing it now. My company's IT security settings will not allow me to download the beta to gain batch editing access, which I see from other posts is now available but only in beta.

I guess long story short, my question is why would Zutilo all the sudden stop working? I assume it's due to the new version (10.0.8). I don't know what to do in the interim if so.

Thanks!
Tina

    Batch editing is included in Zotero 10 since last August.
    For problem with a plugin, please report it to the plugin developer.

    Could you please point me to the information on how that works? I only see that it has been available in beta since this summer per a forum post and I do not see an option for it in my installation. The beta instructions said to select multiple items, then there would be an option after right-clicking. I see no such option in Zotero 10.0.8. I cannot download the beta. Thanks for your help.

    Just select 2 similar items (e.g., Journal Article) and in the Item Pane, you should see "2 items selected" and a button "Edit Multiple Items..."
    Edit: It also works with a mix of item types.

    Oh I see now that it's in the Item Pane. Thank you!
