Thank you so much - solved. It was Catch-22 - because dialogues are so enlarged (weak eyesight) the top part of the Preferences dialogue was cut off the top. I managed to access it now I knew it was there, and set font to Small - with my enlarged di…

I found my Group settings which I did years ago and that page is clearer than the documentation - the documentation only mentions owners and admins. It didn't tell me what ordinary Members can do or not explicitly. My Group is set to 'Library Editi…

I am grateful for your attention as this issue has forced me to use zotero in avery limited way.That's frustrating as I could do so much more. In principle some users need cross referenced updates, and some need standalone updates. Why not make bot…

" If they were the same items, anyone in any library could make a change that applied to all libraries that had a given item." But that;s EXACTLY what's needed. I enter a book or article in Bibliog A and in Bibliog B. I then find I have misspelled …
-
"to not think of them as reflecting the same item, but rather different items that have no necessary connection with each other." Unfortunately research is not link that - cross referencing between bibliogs is standard. Categories are rarely standal…
-
Yes it's a real problem. Manually updating every little detail added to any entry in different groups or libraries seriously undercuts the usefulness of zotero which s otherwise marvellous. How on earth can we remember if there is a duplicate to upd…
-
There is a problem though I think that once an item has been dragged so it duplicates it doesn't update so updates have to be done twice.
-
Seconding this issue. Since I would have to manually update two or more duplicate entries across groups/ My LIbrary I find it's only useful to have one bibliog in Zotero. I useit to make a bibliog available to the public but for my own bibliog I'm …
-
Is this still the case as it's been a while now? I do so agree that Publication Date would be far more useful to show than Date Modified. It would match expected bibliog custom AND also enable sorting on publication date to give a timeline sequence…
-
bwiernik thank you that is kind. I think both methods are good and I have tested both so for the sake of anyone else considering how to do this here are the prose and cons of each method. First to recap, the problem is Zotero insists on display…
-
OH - bonus - hover the 'title' (quote text) and I can see the whole quote to see if it's what I want! Just noting all this as might be useful to others.
-
Hey Adam the APA method works beautifully. I have some test quotes as Documents - so I can have Author, Date - generally I recognise which book or article it is from that. I have to put the page number at the end of the text, but that's not t…
-
Thank you. Then I will manually copy. How do I make another Group or Collection so I can add to it without the additions affecting the original list? Is it possible to add Tags to the 2nd list which don't add to the first one?
-
Actually I can't see how to refine search results so I get a) Only books b) only articles c) only theses d) Only Notes which match the search, with the parent publication.
-
Ah - you're a darling thank you.
-
I found the problem. I think this needs to be added to the introductory guide. I remember it happened before on another laptop. On the client, immediately to the left of the title "Group Libraries" and to the left of the people icon too, there …
-
@adamsmith good point to consider. But looking at the layout the icon is on the far left so not that easy to click by mistake. Users will generally click the item name quite bit further along the line if they want to open it. Secondly, whe…
-
Thanks very much Adam. I'd completely missed that.
-
Thank you. I tried Notes but the content is actually not as accessible as Extra (client). Using Extra I can see if it has content on the centre panel and even hover to read all or most of my notes. Putting my data in a Note closes it off in a kind o…
-
Thank you for the information. It would be great (in the client) to click the icon left of listing, and get selected display on that Item Type.
-
I would love to understand this better. I've read the posts but things like API and the other acronyms are out of my knowledge. I do know basic html and php to make things appear on a webpage. I have a publicly viewable Group library, no one ca…
-
Sorry should have said - the client does not display these ghosts but they do show online. Firefox. If I hover them they show zero entries. Click it and it displays 'No Items Found' Restarting browser no effect - and of course I have cli…
-
Yes sorry I should have said I used FF. Just tested in chrome - same result. Also yes that odd result that first time is OK.
-
Very sorry Adam - I have not discovered the citation icon on the client. Looked again just now. This is about the online version.
-
Thank you Adam I can under stand better now. Would be nice to have a Like or Thank you click here - It's a good experience on both sides as you don't end up clicking messages open which don't need a reply but you still get thanked.
-
Author is definitely what scholars expect. I hope this can be added, or else replace dateAdded. If it's a choice about space, the last update is useful (dateModified) but having both dateModified and dateAdded is close to duplication when at the …
-
Oh I never said all black .. just the text of the Title, and Creator, to make it stand out. All blue makes it hard to see distinctions. Then the Tags are so powerful I think they deserve a bit og priority and contrast always works well in 3 ite…

I guess America is way ahead of us among academics. UK acadmia is very er ... traditional. I run online colloqia and I train online teachers. Also in general work I'm constantly amazed at things like having to explain how to do an email attachment…
-
fcheslack thank you so much - fixed it beautifully. For anyone else who gets this problem, checking 'leading spaces' at the start of a field like Title, Author etc is best done online where the sizing of everything is much bigger. I was check…
-
I'm so sorry but it's difficult to know how to say it. I do admire Zotero a great deal - that's why Ive been hard at it loading up and exploring its features. It's way better than other alternatives. Thee's so much that is quick and intuitive and …
