If citations were originally created in Mendeley Desktop, and assuming you're using a relatively recent version of Zotero with either Word or LibreOffice integration, the citations should be re-linked to the imported items, provided the import was d…
-
It's not currently possible but planned. For now, please use Zotero (desktop application). The web library does not offer the same functionality as Zotero. You can see other limitations listed here: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/web_vs_desktop

Download the installer from zotero.org and run it as an administrator (right-click the icon and select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu). If that doesn't help, or if your configuration does not allow running it as an administrator, dele…

There is an option to hide the "Duplicate Items" and "Unfiled Items" from the context menu. To display these again, use the library's context menu. I don't see the point of hiding a collection in a library. If you want to reduce clutter, consider c…

All of the text is being put into the title rather than just the first line as in the local version. It seems that the way notes are presented in the items table differs slightly between the web library and Zotero. We will fix this so that what you …

I have been working in the Web Library because tags are not synching between the local and web DBs. There was a rather long exchange in the forum which seemed to admit this was a problem in the context of bulk tagging I'm not sure which thread you'…

Please note that we cannot offer support if you modify the database using external software. Additionally, you should always close Zotero and make a backup before attempting any modifications. I advise anyone reading this thread to check this artic…

I meant the installer you've downloaded from https://www.zotero.org/download/, most likely called "Zotero-7.0.5_x64_setup.exe"
-
Could you please try right-clicking on the installer and selecting 'Run as Administrator'? It might ask you to enter the admin user's password. If this helps and Zotero installs correctly, please let us know.
-
An alternative to consider is creating a private group library with file storage, joining it from both accounts, and dragging items and notes via the group.
-
You shouldn't use export for backup purposes. See https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#backing_up_your_zotero_data
-
You're using the web library. The "Preferences Window" is only available in Zotero, the desktop application, which is also the primary way to use Zotero. You can download it here: https://www.zotero.org/download/ Afterwards, you can set up syncing…
-
Sorry, it's not possible to use WebDAV in the web library. Your files are stored on your WebDAV servers, and the web library does not have access to them.
-
Unfortunately, there is currently no functionality to perform multiple replacements on a single field, but we're considering various options for implementing this in the future. For your specific problem, wouldn’t it be more feasible to edit the it…
-
Thanks for the report, we will fix this.
-
If you're referring to the new file renaming functionality in Zotero 7, then the {{ journalAbbreviation }} field can be used in the filename template. As long as your metadata contains this information, file renaming will use it.
-
As explained in the file renaming documentation, replaceFrom uses regular expressions to perform the replacement. Therefore, "['f', 'a', 'e']" means match a single character present in the list below, and that matched value is being replaced with th…
-
The following template should be close to what you're looking for: {{ if {{ authors match="[^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+" }} }} {{ authors max="1" suffix=" et al._" }} {{ else }} {{ authors join=" and " suffix="_" }} {{ endif }} {{ year suffix="_"}} {{ title }…

Settings -> Sync -> Show Reset Options (at the bottom, you might need to scroll to see it)
-
I'd move the opening bracket from suffix on authors to prefix on year. This makes more logical sense and also fixes cases where the date field is empty. I've tested the exact code you provided and couldn't identify the problem with having one or fo…

If it's just the file that you don't see (but the Zotero item changes sync correctly), please see: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/files_not_syncing If no changes sync, please follow these steps: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/changes_not_sync…

When you run the installer and are asked the question shown in your screenshot, choosing "No" should delete the entire folder where Zotero is installed (or display an error message if that's not possible). I'm surprised that, in your case, nothing h…
-
Sorry, just to clarify: I meant running the installer, not the Zotero program. You can download the Zotero installer from https://www.zotero.org/download/.
-
Did you try to run the installer again? If it displays a similar dialog, choose "No" and let us know if that helps.
-
This doesn't make much sense and is well beyond the scope of what the web library is designed for. The web library is a web-based application that relies on a set of server-side services. It is not capable of handling local files or local databases …
-
Following another user's report, we've discovered a potential bug that might be affecting your import as well. We'll update this thread once we have a fix.
-
This might be a bug, we're looking into it.
-
Somehow, the path we're getting from Mendeley is prefixed with a "/", which is confusing the importer. Also debug log does not contain the entire import process. If your Mendeley account is synced, I recommend using the online import method. You …
-
Thanks for the the detailed report. You're correct, removed annotations should also be automatically deleted in the web library shortly after syncing. We will investigate.

You can customize authors yourself, here is an example that will result in AuthA et al for three or more authors, but for two it will produce AuthA & AuthB for two authors. {{ if {{ authors match="[^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+" }} }} {{ authors max="1" suf…
