@erinice chances are you are hitting the problem with the instructions mentioned below - that is, that the Scannable Cite.js file must be installed in the Zotero\translators directory, not the data directory as stated. https://forums.zotero.org/disc…

First, confirm that you are not at the limit of your online storage quota at the link below (which would explain why some files were not uploaded from your old computer; and which would have been accompanied by a sync error message at the top right …

The Rayyan instructions do say "select the specific references you intend to export" but then are for exporting your whole library, using Zotero's "Export Library". You want "Export Collection" ... https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/exporting

You have 4 copies of the Zotero Add-in listed in the Word Add-Ins list, 3 active and 1 inactive (in your original screen grab that you then removed).

I see that a lot too. Happens when I'm editing data in the Info pane while the upload/sync of the initial metadata for the item is occurring (e.g. just after download from the web connector). My edited entries will get reverted to what they were ini…

Can the two installed versions operate on the same database (obviously not at the same time), or must you keep separate databases ?

If you at least want to find all the authors you have stored under different variations of their name, the code in this thread is an easy way to do so. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/411459/#Comment_411459 The question of what to do …

AFAIK currently the only way to do that is via an Advanced (saved) Search for Item Type IS Annotation. I would guess that an extra column type for Annotations (similar to the current Notes) might be added in the future. I believe that the appearance…

I wrote this as @adamsmith was writing his response, and it expands somewhat on those considerations. If a user needs cloud storage of *linked* PDF attachment files, setting a Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD) only facilitates a rather small …

Linked attachment files don't work with Groups. https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files If you share the cloud folder where all the PDFs exist with your colleague, and the files are named the same as their item names in the Grou…

I haven't used attanger or zotmoov as I'm not using the v7 beta. The core functionality of Zotfile is fairly simple: (1) automatic moving/renaming attachments downloaded by the Zotero web connector to the Zotfile Custom Location folder, and (2) a ma…

While Zotfile works in Zotero v6, its documentation has not been maintained as you note. And it does not work in Zotero v7, currently in beta. There are several new plugins capable of Zotfile's functionality in Zotero v7 (with the exception of Send …

The usual way to get Zotfile to automatically rename and move PDFs as they are added is to add them from the article's web page via the Zotero Web Connector in the standard way. If you already have PDFs in your Onedrive folder, you can use modifier…

If Zotero can't open a linked PDF on any computer, it usually just means that you have not set a Linked Attachment Base Directory (LABD) for that computer, or you have not set it correctly, or you haven't put that PDF in the right location where it …

An Unfiled item exists only at the (top) Library level. If you delete it, it will be gone from your Library (actually it will be in the trash until that is automatically cleared after the #days specified under General Preferences). An Unfiled item …

1. The link offers two common scenarios: (a) back up your whole computer (ie so you have a back up of everything you have, not just Zotero), or (b) back up your Zotero data directory (including everything under it). For '(b)', you could indeed regu…

I have collections at the top of my collections tree for multiple similar applications: __to be filed __to be read __to be OCRed __to be translated I usually select the '__to be filed' collection when saving new PDFs via the Web Connector. From the…

@hlpayne the Zotero data folder (under which is the storage folder tree where each PDF has its own folder) cannot be in cloud storage; due to the danger of the Zotero sqlite database in that data folder then being write-able by the cloud app. https:…

@wtanksleyjr re Zotfile, its replacements under Zotero v7 (currently in beta) are attanger or zotmoov. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/104858/on-zotfile-development-and-zotero-7

In addition to the instructions on how you could still use an external PDF reader at the above link, the ability to open any PDF in the system PDF reader via single right click is provided by this plugin. https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pd…

I agree, ordering options would be very helpful. Currently you get the order with which you added the Related items, which is arbitrary. Being able to move them around (or sort by title) would be great. I mostly use Related for important items in th…

@khenggel you can now also do this with ChatGPT and Bibtex import to a single collection. It only requires plain text, not live Zotero citations in a MS Word document like Reference Extractor (https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/). Anystyle is the…

I think you mean @damnation. ;)

Did you follow *all* the steps at @dstillman's link above ? ie those that prevent online content from overwriting the restored local data, and then forcing it to update the online from the local.

There are styles for both here: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=animal If the one you want is not 100% correct vs official instructions at the bottom below, post error(s) back here as described. https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blo…

You should not need to modify anything. The instructions for Animals are below. They link to the Zotero style. https://www.mdpi.com/journal/animals/instructions#back
