@bwiernik Are you sure? From whatever I am able to find on this topic, it seems the document MUST be saved in OneDrive or be part of a SharePoint site. Please note that my question about save location is limited to documents that I am co-authoring w…

@srippon Here's a tedious solution, but maybe less tedious than your need to search all groups individually? You could consider creating a group (with only one member, you) or use your My Library as a place to store a copy of all items in all grou…

Thanks. Do we have to use OneDrive for collaborating writing/editing in Office 365? Since I have not used Office 365 outside of work (where we collaborate via Sharepoint), I do not know how actually collaborative editing works in Office 365 for pers…

The difference between Office 365 and Office 2016 may be much less in the past, but it was there - for example, inking features. It seems going forward the difference will only grow larger. Anyway, for my needs "and even if they do, we are ready to …
-
@adomasven It's different than how you describe. Yes, Office 365 is a subscription service, but it gets regular feature updates, while perpetual Office (2016, 2019) only gets security and bug fixes. On the day Office 2019 was released, it was alrea…
-
Thanks, that addresses my immediate concerns.
-
@adamsmith, I agree with what you are saying, and I was struggling to frame my question. Maybe what I am really asking is about the fundamental method of Zotero's integration in to Word. Since Office 365 will inevitably have monthly updates, what's …
-
That's great and answers my need. Thanks.
-
Fair points, both. I find it frustrating when researchers/editors/anyone resist DOIs - they are the easiest way to get to the resource! While volume, serial, and page numbers should still be included, all of these are from a time when scholars acces…
-
Thanks, good to know.
-
@adamsmith Adding DOIs to ACS style would be a welcome change. I hope that will include ES&T, right? Do you think DOIs should be added for all styles that are silent or ambiguous about DOIs? I've had the feeling that journal editors are willing…
-
@kalder Might not be exactly what you are doing, but just FYI, sort by "Year" is broken and only sorts on screen and does not sort when you create a report (right-click menu) . To sort chronologically, use "Date" Also discussed in this thread: https…

Yes, if a user has subscribed to sufficient storage space on Zotero server/online, they will see all attachments on any client they have logged in and synced. The metadata (or what you call data) will sync independent of storage space subscription -…

You're right, I could just use the merge function. I did not think of that since I've never used it. Just in case this is helpful to anyone, here's an example of the same article with different DOIs: https://doi.org/10.3141/1987-09 https://doi.org/…

Not really a Zotero issue, but related to duplicate detection. The case is similar to (2) in djross3's post. A year ago, the Transportation Research Record (TRR) journal of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) moved to Sage publications. http://…

@danstillman Wondering if you'll have a better sense of when this might happen - within a year or more than a year kind of estimate.
-
Mostly no, to all four questions. Zotero can do some of those but not in the fast ways shown in the videos. And that's because Zotero is not meant to perform those functions specifically. But great product for searching inside texts, so thanks for …
-
Do you have rights to add to the group? Do these items already exist in the group?
-
Can this script/API method be used to keep my group up to date with MyLibrary? On way only (MyLibrary is never updated from the group). I am mostly interested in updating the item metadata in the group, such as tags.
-
While you cannot easily see, you can easily copy any item set to the style you've selected (in Edit > Preferences > Export). You can copy multiple items at once. I generally just drag-drop items in Word or Outlook.
-
@adamsmith @dstillman What skills should a developer have to be able to code for this feature? How important is it that they be familiar with Zotero code on day 1? I will revive my communication with the person who wrote the code for the existing …
-
I am willing to contribute a couple hundred dollars and create/manage a fund to pool enough money to pay a developer willing to add this feature to the satisfaction of the developer team. I don't need anything fancy and I understand even that could …
-
Thanks, and those are good reasons. BTW, I recall reading something about a future version of Zotero natively having many of Zotfile's features. Is that near-/mid-/far-term?
-
Just curious, why are such settings in hidden pref and not upfront in the GUI? I know some settings are more complex and even damaging so they are hidden away, but something like this could have been in the GUI. I'm sure there's a good reason, so cu…
-
@adamsmith I could not find that setting in ZotFile's GUI. Maybe I missed it or it could be a hidden pref?
-
OK, thanks for the prompt reply
-
Did you mean: - two versions of the PDF (one clean, other annotated) attached to the same item, or - two copies of an item (each with one PDF) which would then show up as duplicates. Both are possible, but can you describe what you are trying to a…
-
Ok, good to know about that upcoming feature.
-
This is among the most common "how to" questions. Is there a future GUI update planned that will make the feature more evident/accessible? Maybe have a floating box that displays all the collection names if that feature is activated?
-
Not the perfect solution, but if you save the report (as .htm or .html) and then reopen it in a browser, search (ctrl+F) is available and works.
