Whole bibliography gone and adding new citation doesnt work

SNTB

My whole bibliography is gone.Besides, adding a new citation doesnt work so i can also not start over.I already went to my latest back up documents but only half of them appear (last updated on july 7th), the newest updates doesn't come with the bibliography.

Today is my bachelor's thesis deadline, and I have just finished it.Now I see that my entire bibliography has been deleted.However, the numbers are still incorporated within the text.When I click on these citations, they do not show the correct references either.

I do not have any backups!the last one was from a few days ago, apparently.188BET靠谱吗I also tried deleting and reinstalling Zotero, refreshing my laptop, and restarting Word, but the bibliography still does not appear.It will take a lot of time to add 100 citations manually in just a few hours before the deadline, so I really hope someone can help me out.

It looks like you flattened your citations.Have a read of this for potential causes: 188BET靠谱吗//www.brodersterzo.com/support/kb/existing_citations_not_detected

188BET靠谱吗A Zotero bibliography is just a representation of the citations in the document.188BET靠谱吗If you have active Zotero citations, you can just put the cursor where you want the bibliography and click Add/Edit Bibliography.

But it's also possible you accidentally flattened all the citations.For that, see Existing Citations Not Detected.

I am afraid my citations have been flattened?
Add/edit bibliography doesnt work either.The page remains empty.

See the linked page for how this might have happened and your options.There's really nothing more we can tell you, unfortunately — you'll need to restore to a backup from before you did this or reinsert the citations.

My plugin in Word doesnt say any information either when adding citations.Thats why I didnt notice until the last moment my bibliography was gone.

The linked page says:
188BET靠谱吗If you find that your citations have been flattened, your only options are to restore the document from a backup, re-insert the citations using the plugin, or manually edit the document's citations going forward and generate a final bibliography from a collection in Zotero without using the plugin.If reinserting citations, it may help to adjust Word field settings to always highlight fields in gray rather than only doing so when they are selected.

If your bibliography is flattened but your citations are still active, you can simply insert a new bibliography by clicking Add/Edit Bibliography.

So my citations are active I think because when I click on the first one, it appears with the right articles.However when I click on the 2nd, 3d citation etc.it states the same articles of the first one?Add/Edit bibliography doesnt work either when clicking on one of the citations.

So im afraid i need to re-insert the citation from a back up.However re-inserting with the plug in doesnt work either.How can oyu manually edit the documents citations?Just by coping each citation of the articles in your word document?

Again, you also have to figure out why it happened in the first place.What file format is your document in?

I think there might be a misunderstanding here.When you press Add/Edit Citation and the citation dialog appears, you need to close it (by pressing Enter or Escape).If you do not, pressing any integration button will just make the citation dialog appear on top of other windows again.
