Now that you have Zotero for Desktop and your Zotero browser plug-in, you need to sync your accounts. This will make sure everything shows up when you add citations. Think of it like Apple iCloud or Google Drive. You add a document or photo in one place and it shows up across all the platforms.
Basic Instructions:
- Open Zotero Desktop on your computer:
- In Zotero, find the Sync function:
- For Mac OSX, in the top navigation menu > click Zotero > Preferences > Sync tab.
- For Windows, in the top navigation menu > Edit > Preferences > Sync tab.

- On the Sync tab, enter your Zotero email address and password you just made. Select OK. For more on syncing, see Zotero's documentation.
