 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 the [[zotero_data|Zotero data directory]], and each file has its own subdirectory, which is named with a random 8-character string.

+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. 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. 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).
+By default, Zotero will take Snapshots when importing items from web pages. You can disable this setting in the [[preferences/general|Zotero preferences]]
+Note that Zotero's snapshot feature sometimes can't correctly archive pages with complex code or structures, particularly sites whose content is dynamically produced (e.g., Google Books).
