 =====Citing=====
-You can begin citing with Zotero by clicking the "Add/Edit Citation"{{::zotero-z-16px-offline.png?16&nocache&nolink|}} toolbar button. Pressing the button brings up the citation dialog.
+You can begin citing by clicking the {{::zotero-z-16px-offline.png?16&nocache&nolink|}} ("Add/Edit Zotero Citation") button in the Google Docs toolbar or by selecting "Add/Edit Citation" from the Zotero menu, both of which will bring up the citation dialog.
 The citation dialog is used to select items from your Zotero library and create a citation.

 Select an item by clicking on it or by pressing Enter when it is highlighted. The item will appear in the dialog box in a shaded bubble. Press Enter again to insert the citation and close the Add Citation box.
-In the Add Citation dialog box, you can click on the bubble for a cited item and then click "Open in My Library" (or another library name) to view the item in Zotero. Items that are orphaned (i.e., not connected to any items in your Zotero database) will not have an "Open in My Library" button. Orphaned items can exist if they were inserted by a collaborator from their My Library or a group you don't have access to or if they were deleted from your Zotero library.

 =====Collaboration======
-Google Docs is designed to let you collaborate on documents, and Zotero’s integration is no different. You and your coauthors can all insert and edit citations, and since citation data is stored in the document, you don't need to share a Zotero group library. If you're planning a large collaborative writing project, however, we recommend using a group library, which will allow all collaborators to change cited item metadata (authors, title, date of publication, etc.). If someone cites an item from their personal library, only they will be able to update the metadata for that item.
+Google Docs is designed to let you collaborate on documents, and Zotero’s integration is no different. You and your coauthors can all insert and edit citations in a shared document, and you don't even need to be in a Zotero group. If you're planning a large collaborative project, though, we recommend using a group library, which not only makes it easy to collect and manage materials but will also allow all collaborators to change cited item metadata (authors, title, date of publication, etc.). If someone cites an item from their personal library, only they will be able to update the metadata for that item.
 When working collaboratively on a document, you and your coauthors should avoid inserting or editing citations at the same time. The Zotero Connector has mechanisms in place to prevent document and citation corruption from concurrent citation editing, but due to technical limitations they do not provide perfect safety.
