===How do I import references into Zotero?===
Zotero's "Import" function imports citation data from bibliographic formats such as bibtex or RIS. To get files like PDFs into Zotero, simply drag&drop  them to the Zotero interface or use "Store Copy of File". See [[:getting_stuff_into_your_library#adding_pdfs_and_other_files|here]] for more information on getting files into Zotero.

For information on using Zotero's import functions to add items to your library, see the [[:getting_stuff_into_your_library#Importing_Records_from_Other_Reference_Tools|main documentation]].

For troubleshooting import and export issues, you can try the relevant steps in the [[:troubleshooting_translator_issues|translator troubleshooting procedure]] and direct questions to the [[http://forums.zotero.org/|support forums]].

For documentation on the data formats that Zotero supports, see the first link above, or [[:dev:data_formats|the more detailed descriptions in Zotero's developer documentation]].
