- 188BET靠谱吗If you have standalone files in your library, you make them into child items by dragging them onto a regular Zotero item, using the [[retrieve_PDF_metadata|Retrieve PDF Metadata]] function, or right-clicking on the standalone attachment and choosing "Create Parent Item". +
+ 188BET靠谱吗If you save a PDF directly to your library, Zotero will attempt to [[retrieve_pdf_metadata|retrieve metadata]] for it and create a parent item automatically.If the item can't be recognized, you'll be left with a standalone attachment.188BET靠谱吗You can add a parent by either [[adding_items_to_zotero|saving an item from the web]] and 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 ====
188BET靠谱吗Stored files, which are the default, are stored within the [[zotero_data|Zotero data directory]],188BET靠谱吗and Zotero will automatically manage them, including deleting them if you delete the attachment item in Zotero.188BET靠谱吗If you use [[sync|file syncing]], 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Stored files, which are the default, are stored within the [[zotero_data|Zotero data directory]],188BET靠谱吗and Zotero will automatically manage them, including deleting them if you delete the attachment item in Zotero.188BET靠谱吗If you use [[sync|file syncing]], 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.If you do choose to use linkedfiles,thethird-party[[http://zotfile.com/|ZotFile]]plugincanhelp with an efficientlinked-fileworkflow. + 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'188BET靠谱吗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'188BET靠谱吗s search features (e.g., Spotlight on macOS) or create a smart folder in your OS 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.Linkedfilesare also not supported inthe [[https://apps.apple.com/us/app/188BET靠谱吗zotero/id1513554812|188BET靠谱吗Zotero iOS app]]or the upcoming [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?188BET靠谱吗id=org.zotero.android|Android app]].

If you sync linked files using an external tool (Dropbox, etc.) for use on multiple computers, it is a good idea to set the [[preferences/advanced#188BET靠谱吗Linked_Attachment_Base_Directory|linked attachment base directory]] 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.
