188BET靠谱吗Adding Files to your Zotero Library
188BET靠谱吗In addition to item metadata, notes, and tags, Zotero can also be used for managing files.188BET靠谱吗This page describes the different ways you can add files to your Zotero library, and how added files are stored and synced.
Child versus Standalone Attachment Files
Files can be added either asstandalone itemsor aschild items188BET靠谱吗to regular Zotero bibliographic metadata items.It is generally always a good idea to work with files as child items.188BET靠谱吗Standalone files cannot be used with many of Zotero's features, including citing, My Publications, and most types of searching, because they lack bibliographic metadata.
188BET靠谱吗If you save a PDF directly to your library, Zotero will attempt toretrieve metadatafor it and create a parent item automatically.If the item can't be recognized, you'll be left with a standalone attachment.You can add a parent by eithersaving an item from the weband dragging the PDF on top of it (if a PDF isn't attached automatically) or by right-clicking on the PDF, choosing Create Parent Item, and entering an identifier such as a DOI or ISBN.If all else fails, you can click Manual Entry after selecting Create Parent Item and manually enter metadata for the item.
Stored Files and Linked Files
188BET靠谱吗Files can be added to your Zotero library as either stored files or linked files.
Stored Files
Stored files, which are the default, are stored within the188BET靠谱吗Zotero data directory188BET靠谱吗, and Zotero will automatically manage them, including deleting them if you delete the attachment item in Zotero.If you usefile syncing188BET靠谱吗, Zotero will automatically sync stored files between devices and make them available in your online library on zotero.org.188BET靠谱吗If you add a stored file from a file on your computer, the file is copied to the Zotero data directory, so you may wish to delete the original to avoid confusion.
188BET靠谱吗When using Zotero file syncing, you can choose to download stored files only as needed, avoiding the need to download all files to every device.188BET靠谱吗An upcoming version of Zotero will allow you to choose how long to keep synced files on a given computer in order to limit disk space usage, temporarily redownloading files when you need them.
188BET靠谱吗To use stored files outside of Zotero, you can use Zotero's search and organization abilities to quickly find the relevant items and then either drag the attachments straight from Zotero (e.g., into an email) or right-click and choose Show File to view the files in your file manager.188BET靠谱吗If you prefer to find files without going through Zotero, you can use your operating system's search features (e.g., Spotlight on macOS) or create a smart folder in yourOS188BET靠谱吗to show a list of all PDFs within your Zotero data directory and interact with the files directly.188BET靠谱吗Zotero automatically renames files based on the parent item's bibliographic data, so you can easily find files by title, author, or year even from outside Zotero.
We strongly recommend using stored files for the most seamless experience.
Linked Files
188BET靠谱吗With linked files, Zotero only stores a link to the location of the original file on your computer.188BET靠谱吗Linked files are not synced, nor are they deleted if the attachment item is deleted in Zotero.They also can't be used within a group library, as there's no guarantee that other group members would have access to the same file location.Linked files are also not supported in the188BET靠谱吗Zotero iOS appor the upcomingAndroid app.
188BET靠谱吗You can add a linked file by selecting an existing item and choosing "Attach Link to File…" from the "Add Attachment menu in the Zotero toolbar or, to usePDF metadata retrieval, by selecting "Link to File…" from the New Item menu.You can also use the appropriateOS-specific modifier key for linking files while dragging in a file from the filesystem.
If you sync linked files using an external tool (Dropbox, etc.) for use on multiple computers, it is a good idea to set thelinked attachment base directory188BET靠谱吗so that the files can be found by Zotero on each computer even if the containing folder is at a different location in the filesystem.
Given the advanced nature of linked-file workflows, and the differences on individual systems, we're not able to help troubleshoot problems with specific setups.
188BET靠谱吗If you wish to convert linked files to stored files in order to allow Zotero to manage them, you can do so from the Tools → Manage Attachments menu.
Adding Files
Adding Files via the Browser
188BET靠谱吗Zotero can automatically save associated web page snapshots and PDFs when you use the188BET靠谱吗Zotero Connector save button in your web browser188BET靠谱吗(whether associated snapshots and PDFs are saved can be changed in the Zoteropreferences).Such snapshots and PDFs are stored as copies in188BET靠谱吗Zotero data directory, and appear as child items of the saved item.
188BET靠谱吗Adding Files via the Zotero window
Drag and Drop
188BET靠谱吗Files can be copied into your library by dragging a file from your operating system's file browser into the Zotero window, and either dropping it onto a collection in the left pane, or onto the center pane.188BET靠谱吗Files dropped onto an existing regular Zotero item in the center pane are added as child items.Files dropped onto a collection, or in an empty space or between items in the center pane, are added as standalone items.
188BET靠谱吗You can also drag and drop an existing standalone file item in Zotero onto a regular Zotero item to create a child item.
Adding linked files
-
188BET靠谱吗By default, files dragged into Zotero are added as copiesof the original files.To instead add linksto the original files, hold down
Ctrl
+Shift
(Windows/Linux) orCmd
+Option
(Mac) while dropping.188BET靠谱吗(On macOS, it may be necessary to allow the Zotero window to come to the front before letting go for the modifier key to take effect.)
New Item Button
File copies and file links can be created by clicking the "New Item" () button at the top of the center column and selecting "Store Copy of File…" or "Link to File…", respectively.This creates standalone items.
Attachment Menu
When you have selected a single item in the center pane, you can click the "Add Attachment" paperclip button at the top of the center column.Select either "Attached Stored Copy of File…" or "Attach Link to File…" to add files as attachments to the item.
You can also "Attach Link to URI…" to add a link to a web page (http://
orhttps://
) or to another program on your computer (e.g., OneNoteonenote://
or Evernoteevernote://
).
These options are also available when you right-click an item and choose "Add Attachment".
Accessing Files
Files in your library can be accessed by double-clicking the item in the center pane.Alternatively, you can right-click the item and select "View PDF" or "View File".
188BET靠谱吗To locate a stored (copied) or linked file, right-click the item in the Zotero pane and select "Show File".Copied files are stored in the188BET靠谱吗Zotero data directory, and each file has its own subdirectory, which is named with a random 8-character string.
Web Snapshots
188BET靠谱吗Zotero can archive a webpage by creating a snapshot — an offline file reflecting the state of the page at the time the snapshot was taken.188BET靠谱吗If the Zotero Connector does not recognize data on a page, you can save the page as a Web Page item with an attached snapshot by clicking the Zotero save button in the browser toolbar.188BET靠谱吗You can also take a snapshot of any page by right-clicking (click-and-hold in Safari) on the Zotero save button and choosing "Save to Zotero (Web Page with Snapshot)".
188BET靠谱吗By default, Zotero will save snapshots when importing items from webpages.You can disable this setting in the188BET靠谱吗Zotero preferences.
