Preferences Window

Many of Zotero's features can be customized via the Zotero preferences window.

The preferences in the preference window are divided over the following tabs:

  • General - adjust appearance and set miscellaneous features.
  • Sync - set your username, password and (if desired) WebDAV server for syncing.
  • Search - turn full-text indexing of PDFs on and off and see relevant statistics.
  • Export - specify how bibliographies are generated
  • Cite - add and remove citation styles
  • Proxies - configure proxy server settings (not available in Zotero Standalone)
  • Shortcut Keys - configure keyboard shortcuts for Zotero
  • Advanced - storage location, database integrity

Hidden Preferences

In addition to the preferences shown in the Zotero preferences window, Zotero has a number of hidden preferences that only can be changed by opening about:config under the Advanced tab of Preferences.
