While it is great that items can be in multiple folders at once (once you get used to it, you realise why that makes sense), you can also move items from one collection to another by holding down Cmd (on a Mac, I assume Ctrl on a Windows) and draggi…

I agree @dmvalmadre - the more you work with it, the more you realise it is a different workflow, but a much better workflow than Zotfile (and I say that as a huge Zotfile fan). @astroHao - I agree that there's a need for better documentation, and w…

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a Debug ID as Zotero would just hang every time I started up and I couldn't enable anything in the menus. In the end, I uninstalled Zotero and reinstalled, and that seems to have fixed the issue (at least for now!)

No - the annotations don't automatically become notes, but it's easy to either add them as notes (just right-click or drag and drop into an existing note) or create a note from annotations (there's a button in the Note pane to automatically create e…

I'm disappointed to hear this @astroHao as personally I find Zotero 6 a fantastic upgrade. I've been using it in beta for a while, but understand that there are some changes in workflow required. It's not entirely clear what you dislike specifically…

Hi jasphoto - no, you don't have to add to a note. It's a bit hidden, but the highlight automatically creates an annotation - to see them, you need to click on the sidebar toggle at the top left of the menu bar. In the annotations view on the sideba…

Picking up this thread, here are a couple of use cases I've found so far. In one case, we set up a Google group for a distributed research network, and created a shared Zotero library. We wanted to display publicly the Zotero library for the resear…

I absolutely agree @bwiernik that the free Zotero forums are better than any support provided by paid-for products, and that is what I tell the organisations I’ve migrated to. But there is a nervousness about going without support and, if you’re wor…

Interesting thread - I agree that it's not obvious on how to help fund Zotero. I do maintain an unlimited storage and have for years - I didn't need the storage but now I do! I agree subscriptions would limit the usefulness of Zotero for co-author…

No apologies necessary - it is the point of beta testing! Thanks for getting this sorted so quickly - it just reminded me N of how quickly this has become a vital workflow for me!
-
Fantastic! Can’t wait to try this out
-
Since updating Zotero to the latest iOs beta, the share extension no longer works. Instead it tells me I need to log in to the app. The first time, I wasn’t logged in, but after that I was. Force quitting didn’t resolve it. Debug ID: D251595435

I'm also not really sure I understand what you're saying, but just in case this helps: 1. You can just add a heading into your Zotero note so you can see the heading that you want 2. You can add numbered headings if you want to see them in a specifi…

Two options I can think of as an alternative (Mac-only, sorry, but if you are on a Windows there might be similar apps or workarounds): 1. PDF Search app: https://pdfsearch.app/index.html. You can index a search folder (in this case, your Zotero st…

Darren, the good news is no programming is required! I expect since the feature is so new it hasn't been documented yet, and I've used it with Ulysses and Craft rather than Obsidian so the process may be a bit different for Obsidian, but this is the…
-
I just want to say I've tried this feature for the first time today with Ulysses and it's fantastic. I love having the link to the PDF page right there! The Word 'Add note' feature is really a gamechanger too - I'm blown away by all the fantastic im…

(1) Loading time of Zotero: I suspect what you're seeing might be caused by the syncing. By default, Zotero is set up to automatically sync (which is great if you are collaborating, and I generally leave this on), but you can choose to switch this d…

Thanks @adomasven - after checking the behaviour again, I enabled the debug output logging and of course, when I went to do it again, it worked fine (and still did after I disabled the output logging). So not sure what went wrong, but it seems to ha…

If you're working on a Mac, I'd recommend an excellent piece of software called TextSoap (https://textsoap.com/mac/) which can be used for all kinds of applications (not Zotero-specific). It comes with a companion app called TextSoapAgent which you …

I am a long-time Zotero user who has converted several research groups over from Endnote, and would never go back. I think Zotero is superior in many ways, including a) collaboration, b) managing your actual files, c) reduced risks of corruption - I…

I understand the difficulty with merging annotations from different pages, but occasionally I find myself finding it difficult to highlight an annotation consecutively on a single page (for example, on my smaller laptop screen or mobile, I start hig…
-
This already exists in Zotero beta - you can choose your highlight colours and then, when you add a note from your annotations, you can right-click on the note and show the highlight colours on your annotations. Extracting notes automatically from y…

Zotero allows you to import the RSS feed automatically, but you have to select the articles for import. If you right-click on the last button above the library pane, it allows you to add an RSS feed which then appears on the bottom of the library pa…

You can also use the Zutilo plugin if you don’t want to worry about scripting - you create an item with the replace text, then use copy the item fields and use the Paste into non-empty fields to replace. It has a lot of useful functionality besides …
-
If you’re saying that Zotero should allow users to disable the automatic tagging that happens with many sources, then Zotero already allows for that. You can choose in Preferences to disable the automatic tagging by default. For those already in you…

Fantastic, can't wait!
-
It's working fine on my Mac (and has been available for years on Mac).
-
Oh wow - thanks @dstillman, the new 'Add note' button in Word is amazing. That is going to revolutionise my workflow!
-
Agree that this is great. I've been using Zotfile's hidden preference to also 'split' notes by item annotation colors - would something like that be implementable in the beta? I often have very long PDFs that I annotate, so splitting them automatica…

The SingleFile extension means you can just right-click and annotate: see instructions here. I use Mozilla, but it looks like it's also available on other major web browsers including Chrome/Edge. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sing…
