[[sync_preview|Zotero 1.5 Sync Preview]] currently lacks some functionality that will be in place when the public version ships.

===== Focus Areas =====

Testing is needed most in the following areas:

  * Conflict Resolution
    * Conflicts can be generated by editing the same library items simultaneously on multiple computers.
    * There may be a few outstanding bugs involving conflict resolution of items with multiple creators. Specific steps to reproduce problems are needed.



===== Not yet implemented =====
  * Synchronization of annotations and highlights
  * Conflict resolution for attachments and collections
  * Conflict resolution for deletions of Zotero objects other than items





























===== Bugs Reported =====
  * Sync issues
    * Sync fails if tags are longer than 256 characters
      * Workaround: Shorten/separate long tags manually
    * Periods and other punctuation characters are not allowed in usernames
      * Workaround: Change your forum username
  * Storage issues
    * Changing the storage password after a successful server verification does not take effect until Firefox is restarted
  * Notes issues
    * Tooltips and spellcheck are not available
    * Auto-save may not trigger when clicking away from note quickly after editing
      * Workaround: Wait at least one second before clicking away from note
    * Auto-save doesn't trigger when returning from the HTML editor
      * Workaround: Click elsewhere in note or make other edits before clicking away
  * Other issues
    * "Duplicate Item" does not work on items with tags ([[https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1063|#1063]]).

Bugs marked "fixed on trunk" are fixed on the  [[dev/svn_and_trac_access#development_xpi|development trunk]]. The same [[sync_preview#data_loss_warning|data loss warning]] applies to the current trunk builds as the Sync Preview, only more so.

To provide helpful bug reports, you generally must be running Zotero with [[debug output]] enabled, as this will allow you to follow the syncing process and view client and server errors.

All bugs should be reported in the [[http://forums.zotero.org/10/|Sync Preview forum]].
