Upgrade StorageGenerate collection from citations in a Word document?
188BET靠谱吗I have written a paper that cites articles from several of my different Zotero collections.188BET靠谱吗I used Microsoft Word with the Zotero plugin.
188BET靠谱吗I would like to have all of these items together as a single collection in Zotero (they're already all in Zotero, but they're scattered across several collections).188BET靠谱吗Is there some way I can go back to the standalone Zotero program and tell it "make a collection consisting of all items cited in this Word document"?
188BET靠谱吗I realize that a straightforward way to do this probably doesn't exist as a feature, since the Zotero plugin for Word is intended to be a one-way thing just for citing.But I am open to creative work-arounds for doing this, if anyone can think of any!

188BET靠谱吗1) If there aren't too many citations, you could manually make a collection by opening the Zotero dialog for each citation, clicking on the reference, clicking "Show in My Library", then dragging the item to a collection.
188BET靠谱吗2) If that is too much work, you can install the Juris-M program (http://juris-m.github.io), a Zotero-variant that has this feature implemented using special Document Tags.188BET靠谱吗You could use Juris-M to make a collection, sync, then switch back to using regular Zotero if you like.
@01baftbthat plugin in your mentioned solution would have been great.Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with my current version (6.0.36) anymore.You wouldn't happen to know of an update or newer plugin?
ChatGPT example here:

188BET靠谱吗Since the OP's use case was for references that are already in Zotero - that they now wish to have in one collection - you would then need to merge the duplicates.
You should also check the imported items against the reference list.As a new option that has not been widely tested, ChatGPT might have problems with some bibliography formats more than others.
Thank you for the tip.However, I agree with @adamsmiththat it seems like a detour to do this with AI when I have live citations already linked to the sources.Moreover, the word plugin must already have the list stored somewhere to create the bibliography.Thus, going via ChatGPT just adds more work and a lot of room for making mistakes (wrong mappings, duplicates, etc.).188BET靠谱吗And if I have to check everything in the end anyway, I can just manually go through my bibliography in word, search for the respective items in Zotero and add them to a collection (which is what I have been doing until now).
So, yes, I'd much prefer a solution like ref-extractor.Unfortunately, I get an error message, when I try to install it: "The add-on "%S" could not be installed.188BET靠谱吗It may be incompatible with this version of Zotero." (I downloaded the zip-file from https://github.com/rmzelle/ref-extractor#reference-extractor.) Thus, I was looking for another solution.Unless the above error message can be resolved?
188BET靠谱吗If you really want to, you can run your own version of the web app (completely independent of Zotero), but there's really no reason to.

Thank you for bearing with me and helping me out nonetheless!
