+ | |||
+ | While it is also possible to edit the text or formatting of bibliography references in this window, doing so is discouraged. References edited here will not be automatically updated by Zotero if you change the data in your library. Editing references here is also somewhat unreliable; several users have reported that modifications made here sometimes do not persist when Zotero references, among other issues. | ||

+ | * Adding annotations or comments about an item | ||
+ | * Adding headings for bibliography subsections (e.g., primary versus secondary sources) | ||
