| If for some reason you're not able to perform a direct online import, it's possible to import from a local Mendeley database by installing an old version of Mendeley Desktop from before Mendeley began [[#mendeley_database_encryption|encrypting]] the local database. See the [[mendeley_local_import|local import instructions]] for more information. | If for some reason you're not able to perform a direct online import, it's possible to import from a local Mendeley database by installing an old version of Mendeley Desktop from before Mendeley began [[#mendeley_database_encryption|encrypting]] the local database.

| Zotero's Word and LibreOffice plugins can read citations created by Mendeley Desktop, so you can continue using the same documents with Zotero and insert additional instances of those citations. | Zotero's Word and LibreOffice plugins can read citations created by Mendeley Desktop and automatically relink them to imported Mendeley items in your Zotero library, so you can continue using the same documents with Zotero. |

| In Zotero 6.0.18 (the current version) and earlier, citations created with Mendeley won't be linked to imported items in your Zotero library, but you can choose from the "Cited" section of the search results in the citation dialog to add another instance of the citation to the document. If you need to make changes to an item's metadata, you'll want to use Add/Edit Citation and replace all instances of the citation in the document with the imported item in your library. | Prior to Zotero 6.0.19 (released in December 2022), Zotero could read and use Mendeley citations, but they wouldn't be linked to imported items in your Zotero library. If you imported your Mendeley library using Zotero 6.0.18 or earlier, you'll need to repeat the import process once using Zotero 6.0.19 or later — just select "Relink Mendeley Desktop citations" when starting the importer. (If you've already imported citations using 6.0.19 or later, this option will no longer appear.) |

| Starting in Zotero 6.0.19 (currently in [[:beta_builds|beta]]), Zotero can automatically link citations created with Mendeley to imported items in your library. If you previously imported your library from Mendeley, you'll need to repeat the import process using Zotero 6.0.19 or later. Select "Download new items only; don't update previously imported items" when starting the importer — the existing items will still be relinked. | |
