I've got a large Zotero library split into several large collections. I know that I'm able to share collections by creating a group in Zotero and then creating a collection within that group. Is it possible to share a pre-existing collection, though?

Alternatively, can I synchronize a collection in a group with a collection that is already in my local library? Sharing a collection within a group is great, but if that collection starts off as a copy of a collection I already have in my Zotero then I'm going to have to maintain two collections independently.

    Might get a better answer on the Zotero forum!

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this is about a specific application, not academia.

  • Where can I find the guidelines for what questions should and shouldn't be asked on this forum, please?

    @Jim The help page has general guidelines, but would probably not help in this case: this falls into a grey area at the boundary of questions that should or shouldn't be asked here. If you are looking for further clarification, you can ask a question on meta.

Easier sharing of parts of your library is planned, but currently, unfortunately, the answer to all of your questions is no. The only way to share a collection is to drag it into a group and it won't sync with the original collection.
