 You can quickly search for items in your Zotero library, add page numbers and other details, and insert citations. When you're done, a single click inserts a formatted bibliography based on the citations in your document. Zotero supports complex style requirements such as //Ibid.// and name disambiguation, and it keeps your citations and bibliography updated as you make changes to items in your library. If you need to switch citation styles, you can easily reformat your entire document in any of the over 9,000 citation styles that Zotero supports. You can quickly search for items in your Zotero library, add page numbers and other details, and insert citations.

-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. When working collaboratively on a document, you and your coauthors should avoid inserting or editing citations at the same time.

 The cite options windows has a drop-down list of the different locator types ("Page" is the default), and a text box in which you can enter the locator value (e.g. "4-7"). To cite a locator other than the ones listed (e.g., "Table), use the Suffix field. The cite options windows has a drop-down list of the different locator types ("Page" is the default), and a text box in which you can enter the locator value (e.g. "4-7").

 +You can also add page numbers from the keyboard as you insert citations. Search for an item, press Enter once to add to the citing dialog, and then, before pressing Enter again to insert it into the document, simply type "p.34" or similar, and the page number will be added to the citation.
