 ==== Zotero Style Repository ====
-With Zotero for Firefox, installing a style from the [[/styles|Zotero Style Repository]] is as easy as clicking on the style title.
+You can install styles from the [[/styles|Zotero Style Repository]] by clicking on the "Get additional styles…" option in the [[preferences/cite|Zotero Style Manager]] (in the Cite pane of Zotero preferences). Search for the style you want and click the style title to install it into Zotero. You can also visit the [[/styles|Zotero Style Repository]] webpage in Firefox or Chrome with the Zotero Connector plugin installed to install styles directly into Zotero.
-With Zotero Standalone, you first have to download the style to your computer. Right-click the style title and select "Save Link as..." to download the style. Then double-click the downloaded file while Zotero Standalone is running to install it, or use one of the alternative installation methods described below.
 The repository allows you to search by style name, and filter by style type and academic field of study. By checking the box "Show only unique styles", duplicate styles that share the exact same format are hidden (e.g. for the journal-specific styles "Nature", "Nature Biotechnology", "Nature Chemistry", etc., only the //independent// "Nature" style is shown).

 ==== Alternative Installation Methods ====
-CSL styles (with a “.csl” extension) can also be added through the [[preferences/styles|Style Manager]], found under the “Styles” tab of the “Cite” pane in the [[preferences|Zotero preferences panel]]. It shows you which styles are already installed, and also allows you to add (by clicking the + button) and delete (by pressing the - button) styles. Another installation option is to drag-and-drop a CSL style file onto an open Firefox browser window.
+You can also install CSL styles (with a “.csl” extension) from local files on your computer (e.g., styles that you edit yourself or that you download from another website). In the [[preferences/cite|Zotero Style Manager]], click the '+' button, then find the style file on your computer.
+===== Managing and Editing Styles =====
+You can remove installed styles by clicking the '-' button in the [[preferences/cite|Zotero Style Manager]]. From this tab, you can also preview style output for the selected items in Zotero and [[dev/citation_styles|edit installed styles]].
 ===== Reporting Style Errors =====
-If a CSL style doesn’t give the expected output, first make sure that you are running the latest (stable) version of Zotero, and have the most recent version of the style installed from the [[/styles|Zotero Style Repository]]. Once you have made sure that the style deviates from the style guide, instructions for authors, or published examples, report the error to the [[/forum/11/|Citation Style forums]]. For your post, use the title "Style Error: [Name of style]", and give a link to, or excerpt from, the style guide that shows that the CSL style is wrong. You can also try to [[dev/citation_styles|edit the style]] yourself.
