Small side note: you no longer need to use regular expression matching to count authors. As of Zotero 7.0.16 you can use the authorsCount, see https://www.zotero.org/support/file_renaming for the documentation and an example.

Thanks for the detailed report. My best guess is that this is caused by a third-party plugin, security software, or something else interfering with the traffic between the web library and the Zotero servers. Are you able to edit fields, such as the…

Could you please describe the exact steps that result in this problem, and also provide a screenshot? Normally, after clicking "Add Note" button, you should be able to edit the newly created note immediately. Also, are there any errors in the browse…

In the web library, you currently need to scroll down to the bottom, select all items with shift-click, and press "Delete Permanently" button in the toolbar to empty the trash. However, I’d recommend emptying the trash with a desktop client where po…

Should be fixed in Zotero 8.0.1
-
Thanks for the report! I was able to reproduce this - it is actually caused by a citation style with a very long name being installed on your system and not on the other one, hence the difference between yours and your colleague’s machine. We will …

You should update your Zotero; version 6 may no longer sync correctly. Also, you’re at the online storage limit, so some files won’t be uploaded even after the update. This only affects file attachments; all your items and collections should sync co…

This feature in Zotero 7 can be disabled using the “View → Use Dark Mode for Content” menu option. In Zotero 8, it has been replaced with a different approach; see https://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-8/#reader-appearance-panel-with-theme-support

Actually, based on the screenshot, I gather these were symbols like ☼ and ☁. We will tweak the code to match these correctly, as it did before.
-
Oh, in that case pasting it to something like https://convertxt.com/code-tools/text-to-unicode/ and then pasting the Unicode code points would also help.

@poettli could you please copy-paste the emojis that you’ve discovered that stopped working into a forum message?
-
Thank you for your suggestion, we plan to add both.

Zotero is primarily a desktop application. While we invest effort in making the web library a powerful and useful resource, it is intended to complement the desktop app. You can see the list of limitations here. A standalone Google Docs integration…

Thanks for reporting these problems. We will fix the issue with letters with diacritics (2). We will also investigate whether we can improve the detection for the other issue.
-
Thank you for the very detailed report. Just to clarify, since it isn’t stated anywhere, this report - titled “Zotero Accessibility Assessment Report” - is specifically for the web library?
-
This is most likely caused by plugins. Try temporarily disabling plugins (Help → Restart in Troubleshooting Mode) and see if that resolves these issues. If it does, you can manually switch off all plugins in the settings and then re-enable them one …

@melissa.ma Thanks for reporting this! We’ve deployed a fix for the crash, so it should no longer happen when using the CMOS 18th (Notes without Bibliography).
-
We’ve deployed a fix to zbib.org. This update resolves an issue where items that couldn’t generate a valid bibliographic entry appeared empty. It also fixes a related problem where clicking on such an item would open the editor for a different item.
-
In your particular case, click on the last item before the empty one - this should open the editor for the missing item. Change the item type to anything else and then back. This might remove some data from that entry, but it should fix the issue. …
-
Thank you for reporting this. We’re aware of the issue, which affects some citation styles, and will be updating ZBib with a fix soon. For the time being, as this only happens with some styles and only during editing (i.e. the final exported biblio…

You can disable this feature so that you’re prompted each time you try to save while Zotero isn’t running. To do this:Right-click the Zotero Connector icon in your browser.Select Preferences (or Options, depending on your browser).In the configurat…

You can use a regular expression to achieve this, e.g. {{ title replaceFrom="^([^:.?]+).*$" replaceTo="$1" truncate="100" }} This will produce a title truncated after “:”, “.”, or “?”, and also after a maximum of 100 characters. Combining it with…

It sounds like there’s a problem with syncing. See the troubleshooting steps at https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/changes_not_syncing (Also, please note that search in the web library is more limited — it can only search by title, creator, year, an…

On top of the questions Dan asked above, could you also let us know if: You can see any errors in the browser consoleIt works if you use the keyboard (Tab/arrow keys to move the focus around, Enter/Space to confirm)?
-
In the desktop app, hover over the circular arrows icon in the top-right corner to see when it last synced, and click on it to start an immediate sync. If the libraries still do not sync, check the steps listed at https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/c…

The URL shown in the screenshot you posted is incorrect — not sure where you got it. If you instead click on the “Web Library” link, it should open the correct URL. Once the web library UI loads, if the items you see there do not match what you see…
-
Zotero has a built-in importer for Mendeley, which should yield better results.
-
Could you post a screenshot with the console open? From the sound of it, it’s most likely caused by a browser plugin or some security software on your computer. Does it work if you use a different browser?
-
It usually means that the web library is loading, but some data is taking longer to download. Try reloading the page, and if that doesn’t help, see if any errors are printed to the browser console.

In your screenshots, your Attachment Info pane is collapsed, so it’s very hard to understand what the problem is. If you select one of the attachment items and expand the pane (the little downward-pointing chevron next to the “Attachment Info” heade…
