Accessing the data on the cited references in a paper has traditionally been difficult, because journal publishers did not often provide the reference lists when uploading basic paper metadata to the online databases that are used for retrieving pap…

The theory may be that because the option to change the Data Directory Location is relatively deep in the Preferences under Advanced\File and Folders that only advanced users will find it/use it. And will be able to extricate themselves via good bac…

You should report that to the developer: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/zotpress/

Within a single paper, the tags you've added to its annotations appear in the tag bar at the bottom of the (expanded) left annotations pane.

If you've got PDFs in your Bin, you could first try (right click) emptying it. And then do a file sync again. Also, the figure showing under Current Usage in your storage settings may not respond instantaneously to any changes. https://www.zotero.or…
-
Firstly, for certainty, which settings did you change ? I am not clear why Zotero would still be showing a file sync quota error when you've supposedly turned file syncing OFF. But maybe Zotero does continue to show that error regardless ? Becaus…
-
What you described is a "linked-file" setup (which has strengths and limitations - see link below). https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files To add PDFs from an existing folder as linked files, you can drag and drop them into Zo…
-
Those of us who use the Zotfile plugin are used to its default behaviour of renaming the downloaded PDF (according to your preferred renaming rules) and *also* giving the 'attachment title' that you see in the middle pane the same name as the file. …
-
@chrisg550 as you say a common way to build up your reference library is to look at the references cited in a paper you are reading, and add the important ones to your library. Unfortunately as I alluded to, journal publishers have traditionally mad…
-
The bibliography referred to the documentation is one that you want to create yourself, from a subset of your library's items (and then place it in a word processor document you are writing). It is not the reference list/bibliography from a single p…
-
You can't see/read/annotate PDFs across devices if you turn off file syncing (and are not using any advanced option). The "Data" that is synced for free when data sync is ON is only what you see for each item in the right pane: title, author, etc et…
-
Look under Edit\Preferences\Sync\Settings. (Meta) data syncing and (attachment) file syncing are different. The first is always free. The second - file syncing - is subject to your online quota, with only 300mb being free. So you can always sync dat…
-
Those right click options you're seeing are in the zotero PDF reader. You need to be in the main library view to see all your items in the middle pane, and select which ones you want to add to a quick bibliography (ie without using the word processo…

Have you saved the ASD file as a regular Word file ?
-
As to how such a search feature might look to the user, it could be similar to the search field for tags (which does find text embedded within tags); except at the top of the collections pane. It could either limit the displayed list to collections …
-
It would probably help if people outlined specific examples where the limited existing facility is not adequate to find the collections they want: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/314195/#Comment_314195
-
I see that v0.4.4 of that plugin is the version that should be used for Zotero 6. Later versions are for Zotero 7 (currently still in beta).
-
The following Zotero plugin adds the option to right-click/open a PDF in the default system reader: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pdf So you could set the system default to Drawboard, for use that way from Zotero. Of course your annotat…
-
Linked files don't work with the Zotero iOS app (or apparently the coming Android app). But yes, you could read/annotate your PDF with *another* iOS PDF app if the PDF is accessible from Onedrive on your tablet. But you won't see any annotations in …
-
OK, just needed to confirm your current setup. BTW the important caveats regarding linked files are here: https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files The movement of current (and future) PDF files from local to linked storage is exa…
-
Your PDFs will currently all be on your local computer under Zotero\storage if you are *not* currently using linked files - that local storage is the default, standard Zotero setup. PDFs will also be mirrored on Zotero servers, up to your online sto…
-
As @adamsmith mentions, the following plugin adds right click 'Open PDF in External Viewer". https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pdf
-
The zotero-reference plugin does some of this - that is, text-parse a paper's reference list (or get it from a database like Crossref), and then it puts the extracted references into a right References tab. It will then background-search for those r…
-
The zotero-reference plugin does that. You can turn that behaviour OFF if you don't like it, under 'Link' in its preferences.

So if you try to move (Shift-drag) an item into another collection and Zotero shows the hovering 'crossed-circle' icon, it is simply indicating that the item is already in that collection. So there is no need to move it. If you no longer want the it…
