Yeah, there's so much that can go wrong with this (yes, including losing your entire library due to an incorrect sync) that I won't be party to this beyond my advice not to do it. You can turn attachments into links for folders you want to back-up …
-
You don't have a choice in terms of what gets deleted, but note that the deletion refers to the server. Zotero won't delete local files (unless you explicitly do so yourself) ever.
-
You can select all items cited in a Word or LibreOffice (not Google Doc) file using https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/ Note this won't work if you just download a .docx or odt file from google docs. You actually need to move it as described here…
-
I'm not entirely clear what you mean, but you'd still have to move it to a different library, so citations would get disconnected.
-
If you have a single item selected that way, the key to highlight the collections the item is in (i.e. ctrl in Windows) also works.
-
No, I mean -- it's not possible to do what you ask, i.e. create a fully functional back-up of an individual collection. You can export to Zotero RDF, but that's not entirely lossless and, more importantly, won't maintain links to items cited in Word…
-
You can ctrl+click on an item to select it individually and can then both delete and edit it.
-
Can't be done in the way you describe.

Your professor is wrong. See APA's own guidance here: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples/journal-article-references#1 The volume should be italicized (and Zotero does that), issue and page numbers should not be.
-
This sounds like the wrong approach. CSL has 'genre' which is for exactly this type of thing. I don't like the use of archive for type. The library catalog is appropriate if the database (like JSTOR) should be added to the citation
-
You're not changing the ID
-
technically it's the fields available, not the fields required, but otherwise yes.
-
1 and 3 are right. I don't understand 2 (also, by "css" you mean "CSL" or "csv"?)
-
Those two are almost certainly unrelated. If you have flattened citations, see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/existing_citations_not_detected and start a new thread.
-
You mean Windows?
-
But you got an answer for that? Use the native API JSON, not an export format. If you must use export for whatever reason, Zotero RDF is most complete, but it's very much not loss-less (it's also comparatively heavy and harder to parse)
-
What operating system? If you're using Word for Mac, that's currently expected. The recommendation would be to split the document up into chapters/sections while writing.
-
You should actually be most likely to get the publisher version of the PDF with 2) -- if you let use know about a URL where you don't, we can take a look. (I thought 1 and 3 would be identical, but I'm not certain)
-
Do you mean in the file properties in Windows? Any reason you care about those?
-
The RefMan, BibTeX and Endnote export formats should all.work. I'd test which one works best
-
Questions are fine. Bug reports might be better on the GitHub (this is true only for the visual editor!). They'll get lost here
-
I suspect it's the ID -- I'd stick to the http://zotero.org... URI format of the existing styles. Note that this is a URI, not a URL, i.e. this doesn't need to be a working link.

She's trying to open the .xpi file with Acrobat. Again, you shouldn't open that file with any software. You should download it and then select it from the Tools --> Plugins menu in Zotero (that's how all Zotero plugins work; this isn't specific …

I've seen no indication they're interestand Zotero has always been disinclined to support a specific vendor's proprietary format, so I'd not expect it (there's not detailed public roadmap you could consult, in case that's what you're asking)
-
Two things: 1) Failure to save to your local device is _never_ connected to insufficient Zotero File Storage. You only need ZFS for syncing, not for saving. Troubleshoot the saving issues separately, starting here: https://www.zotero.org/support/tro…

no, it's not -- you can go straight from 6_32 to 7_64
