Can't figure out how to actually create a group library in the extension

bwmaister
Hi, I'm new to zotero, and am planning on using it for a group research project but I cannot seem to figure out how to actually make a group library show up in my libraries, or for that matter how to make the extension recognize that I am a member of a group. The documentation that I could find just says "if a group's library is enabled..." with no notes on how to enable it.

Google searches for "zotero how to enable group library" and many variations haven't turned up anything useful.

Any Help?

    You have to have the 2.0 beta version of the plugin installed, and have syncing enabled.

    Awesome, that worked. Do you happen to know who I should talk to to suggest that they include a link to there in the from the groups page? Since it doesn't actually say anything anywhere, I think the text should say something along the lines of:
    If a group's library is enabled in the group settings page, and you have set-up data syncing on your zotero add-on, it will appear in the Zotero client in the left column.
    or at least it should say something, somewhere, about what is necessary for this to work.

    Hello, I'm having a similar problem. I have set up data syncing, and confirmed that the group library is enabled, but the group library is still not appearing in the left column of the Zotero client. Help?

    Also, generally it's not a good idea to post in threads with no activity in the last couple of months.
