Zotero enables efficient management and modification of reference document collections within academic workflows. Users can quickly insert new references and permanently delete existing ones. Document insertion typically occurs via the browser connector, which detects and imports bibliographic information directly from library databases and websites; manual entry is also possible. Deletion is executed by selecting unwanted items within the Zotero library pane and pressing the 'Delete' key or using the right-click context menu to remove selected references; users must choose between merely removing the reference from the library or also deleting the associated stored file. Ensure correct item selection before deletion to prevent unintended data loss. Effective application streamlines research organization. Users routinely employ insertion while gathering literature online, ensuring rapid bibliography compilation. Deletion maintains a curated library by removing irrelevant or duplicate entries, enhancing research clarity and saving storage space. Mastering these core functions significantly improves citation workflow efficiency.
