@globalfinn: You'll need to wait for the Word Online plugin, yes. Sorry, see below. (You would of course need to wait for the Word Online plugin to add/edit Zotero citations, though.)

I've got a question that might be related to this. When I edit a Word doc on desktop my citation is listed in the doc and the footer but when I open it in Word Online I will only see the citation num…

A Word Online plugin is in the works.

Yes, unfortunately the integration for macOS is quite slow. You have over 1000 citations in your document and it takes 5 minutes for Zotero to retrieve them from Word. You should make sure that Autom…
