It's just a custom Zotero feature — there's not some universal name for it. There might be some other academic-focused tools that do something similar, but if you want to tell your students how to have this feature…tell them to use Zotero?

Telling you that you're misunderstanding something isn't an insult or an attempt to "belittle" you — it's trying to explain that the way you're framing the question isn't the right way to think about it. Properly understanding the problem is the onl…

I promise you I didn't misread your post. What I'm telling you is that you're misunderstanding how this works and what would've led to it. Zotero didn't somehow forget about some of your attachments. There's nothing to "reindex" here (and "Rebuild …

@shannonmatloob: Actually, you're on a Mac, so just open Terminal from Spotlight, paste this in, and press Return, and then paste the full output here: stat -f%z ~/Zotero/zotero.sqlite ; echo 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM itemDataValues; PRAGMA index_list(…

You should temporarily disable auto-sync from the Sync pane of the Zotero settings, restart Zotero, and let it run for a while — overnight, even. Then try running that line.

(Just to be clear, you emailed us after my message above, and you posted about not receiving a response two hours later, on a Saturday… We frequently provide support outside of standard business hours, but you'll need to be a little more patient her…

I'm not really following this, but I think you're misunderstanding a lot of parts here. Can you just explain the exact problem you're facing within Zotero itself? The data directory is managed by Zotero, and none of it really works the way you're d…

This is still planned, yes.

[JavaScript Error: "Component returned failure code: 0x80520008 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS) [nsIFile.create]" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/file.js" line: 1054}] Have you symlinked the 'storage' folder in your Zotero data directory?

We'll fix.

1) You're using an old version of Zotero 7. You should update to the latest version and figure out why you haven't received automatic updates in months. 2) What are the contents of the storage/AHISXXQC folder within your data directory? Is there a …

See Reporting Startup Errors. We'd want a Debug ID for the startup. If you've moved your data directory to a different location, you should move it back to the default location.

The file 'C:\Users\[…]\Zotero\storage\4IJSZBNV\[…].pdf' cannot be created. Check that the file is not currently in use, that its permissions allow write access, and that it has a valid filename. Restarting your computer or disabling security softw…

Copy the files from one server to the other or do Reset File Sync History from the Reset section at the bottom of the Sync settings to force files to be reuploaded. (The next version will do a reset automatically when you change the WebDAV URL.)
-
We'll fix — thanks. (But yes, you can just press space bar, which is the standard way of triggering a menu. On macOS, down-arrow also opens the menu, so you can press down and then up.)
-
Nothing has changed here. If there's an article page, save from that instead, or use an DOI/ISBN/etc. via Add Item by Identifier from within the app. You can also always save files to Zotero even if you're out of online storage space. If you don't …

It'll be possible to do this from those menus soon. (Not that it's a good approach, but you can add items to a new temporary collection from that menu and then use the collection context menu to copy the collection to the other library, so there is …

You need to have a note open in the right-hand sidebar to add an annotation to a note.
-
It's not a full substitute for undo, but just to be clear, Zotero 7 includes a collection search and lets you restore collections from the trash, so there's no real way to accidentally lose a collection in Zotero 7. (Also, there's undo when typing …

So you're saying that when you navigate to https://example.com/foo the Connector redirects you to https://libproxy.(inst).ac.kr/_Lib_Proxy_Url/ https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ffoo and your proxy isn't then redirecting you to https://example-com.lib…

It's just what Files Not Syncing says — you're at your storage quota, and you'll see a sync error in the toolbar telling you that. There's a link from both Files Not Syncing and from the error message to your storage settings page, where you can see…

To be clear, normally you would save from the website, not using Add Item by Identifier. https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#via_your_web_browser

Can you provide an example?

See Files Not Syncing. (Please always start new threads for new issues.)

Your question doesn't make sense — you can't store an entire journal in Zotero. I promise you an ISSN didn't work.
-
An ISSN isn't what you're looking to use — that identifies an entire journal, magazine, etc., not an article. You need to use an identifier for an individual work, like a DOI or ISBN. The DOI is the correct thing to use for your example, and there's…

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. There are no settings for Add Item by Identifier.
