Sync between Zotero and Word document after extraction #37

Hi,

Thanks for this tools. Really nice.

I extracted Zotero references from a Word document in CSL JSON format. All went well. But there is no synchronization between Zotero and the document. When I modify a reference in Zotero, the modification does not synchronize in the Word document after a refresh.

Is it a normal situation or do I have to do something else? Do I have to "reactivate" (enter again with Add/Edit Citation) in the Word document each citation so that Zotero will recognize them?

Thanks,

François

@Lycurgue, there is currently no automated workflow for linking the items extracted with ref-extractor with the original items in the extracted Word document. And yes, manually re-inserting the items is the way to go for now.
