-If you've previously used one of the word processor plugins to insert citations into a document and later find that 1) the plugin says "You must insert a citation before performing this operation.", 2) the bibliography doesn't contain all citations in the document, or 3) references in a numeric citation style start from 1 instead of from an appropriate higher number, the existing citations in the document may no longer be active fields.

 You can confirm that fields in a document are no longer active by clicking them and looking for a gray highlight (Word/LibreOffice) or "Edit with Zotero" popup (Google Docs). In Word and LibreOffice, you can also try [[kb:word_field_codes|toggling field codes]].

 If you find that your citations have been flattened, your only options are to restore the document from a backup, re-insert the citations using the plugin, or manually edit the document's citations and bibliography going forward. If reinserting citations, it may help to adjust Word field settings to always highlight fields in gray rather than only doing so when they are selected.
