APA style only adds year suffixes for identical author groups. For authors with the same last name but different first names, it adds initials. For items with the same first author but different subsequent authors, it adds names until they are disti…

Note that APA explicitly calls for year suffixes to be assigned based on the order in the bibliography, which is ordered by month/day (when shown) and title for items with the same year. It is a very common misunderstanding of APA rules to think tha…

This depends on your citation style. What style are you using?

Zotero definitely does italicize books correctly according to APA style. Try changing to a different style and back. Also check https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/italics_in_word_bibliographies

Item data is never limited. Only files, like PDFs, count against your storage quota. If you don’t want to sync attachments, you can disable file syncing from the Sync pane of Zotero preferences.

Adjust the tab stops for the bibliography to a point after the ] on the 100+ citations

This is all determined by the citation style you choose. What citation style are you using? What do you want your citations to look like?

1) You’re mistaken. The last digit of an ISBN is a check digit—it varies based on all of the digits that precede it and is used by computers to verify information was transmitted correctly. They are not usually the same for the 10 and 13 digit codes…
