I'm getting an error trying to add an item. What do I do?#
Some sites have restrictions that prevent ZoteroBib from working, or they're designed in such a way that a URL can't be used to retrieve a given page. Try a different site, or paste in an ISBN, DOI, or other identifier instead. In a pinch, you can always enter metadata manually, though that should rarely be necessary.
I added an item but the data is wrong or incomplete. How can I correct it?#

In some cases it may be necessary to manually edit an entry to clean up what's there or add additional fields.
