The Worldcat translator was updated yesterday -- I'd guess you just didn't update the translator submodule?
-
That's a 36months old Word 365.version, more than 20 releases.back -- I doubt that's a version that devs can realistically do troubleshooting on. Word 365 updates include bug fixes. It's a different story with a stable version like Word 2016
-
From step 5: "For Zotero Storage, include the URL from the web library where you're not able to access the file." And just making sure, the debug ID is for the first sync after using reset?
-
Either the 17th edition ones or the 18th edition ones labelled as "classic variants"
-
I don't know what to tell you -- import has never worked for PDFs and you can find posts about this on this forum going back more than a decade. We tell you above what you can use instead.
-
The import function isn't for PDFs, that's for metadata formats like RIS or Bibtex. Add the PDF simply by dragging it to Zotero or using "Add attachment --> Add File" from the "File menu"
-
Seeing the same here. (@AbeJellinek -- the JSON API gets a 404. I am able to get the RIS via https://search.worldcat.org/api/citations/export?oclcNumbers= so reverting to that might work? )
-
Which version of Word exactly?
-
Is that Word for Mac or Windows? On Mac, slowness in large docs is known, though we're usually looking at >100 pages, not article-length manuscripts, for which that matters. But if Zotero is turned off and this still happens -- how sure are you …
-
Not out of the box in Zotero, but if you use a simple format like RIS, it'd be trivial to write a script (bash, python, R, even javascript if you want) that takes the large single files and converts it into a set of individual files.
-
Zotero has an "unlink citation" button that you can use in a copy of the document. That removes the citation information.
-
what do you mean by pincites? Like page numbers for a specific citation? This applies in general: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage#customizing_citations The updated citation dialog looks a bit different, but the basic ide…

429 is a 'too many requests' error -- you are being blocked by ScienceDirect
-
Assuming you are running the current version of Zotero, you can 1. Pin any section of the item pane so that items open to it by default 2. Reorder the item pane elements using drag & drop
-
(no beta has been released after the 8.0.3 release, so the current beta is equivalent to 8.0.3 but doesn't get tagged/built separately for that; the next beta with be 8.0.3-beta or 9.0-beta)
-
It's just not core functionality for Zotero to, e.g., fix broken PDFs, so there are other dev priorities, I'd assume. There are plenty of other tools that let you do this.
-
Not currently possible, not, see e.g. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/95515/feature-request-create-bookmarks-in-the-integrated-pdf-viewer
-
Yes. See https://www.zotero.org/support/installation for details
-
That's just a misunderstanding. Editing in Word does exactly the same as the editor in the old dialogue and has for at least a decade: Edits are kept and future updating of that citation is disabled.
-
This is a BBT issue. Zotero just added the Citation Key field, you should look at existing GitHub issues for BBT (I think the dev is working on this) and open a new one if you don't find an answer
-
A list of missing mappings would be very helpful, yes.
-
Yes definitely. I believe the pyzotero developer has actually released a claude code skill that lets you interact with zotero locally using pyzotero. That is, of course if you're interested in going the AI route. (To be clear, of course you don't n…

You can't export/import while keeping identifiers; you'll want to do this via the API.
-
That follows their announcement from December: https://sblhs2.com/2025/12/05/publisher-locations/
-
Correct, those aren't accessible in CSL
-
It's a dependent style, i.e. just a link to another style (BMJ in this case), do there is nothing to edit
-
The group owner, and only the group owner, can initiate transfer ownership on the group settings page. You get to that by clicking manage profile from the list of groups you're in, for example
-
You can only set text-case on the most atomic level of a string, so for names that's "name-part" -- in the visual editor that's a subnode of 'name'
-
text-case="uppercase"
-
You're misremembring this. Single field has always worked like this and single field vs. two field authors aren't equivalent: you can't reliably parse a single field into lastname, firstname as needed for citations, so person authors should never be…
