Attachments

References can have notes, files, and links attached to them. These attachments appear in the middle pane underneath their parent item. Attachments can be shown or hidden by clicking the arrow next to their parent item.

Notes

Rich-text notes can be attached to any item through the "New Note"-button in the tool bar:

The notes can be edited in the right-hand pane or in their own window if you double-click them.

Files

Any type of file can be attached to an item. Attach files with the "Add Attachment"-button in the tool bar, and select "Attach File":

You can also attach files by right-clicking an existing item, or by drag-and-dropping. Files do not need to be attached to existing items, they can simply be added to your library. Files can also be downloaded automatically when you import items using the Zotero Connector in your browser.

Links & Snapshots

Web pages can be attached to any item as a link or a snapshot. A link simply opens the website in a browser. A snapshot is created by Zotero when you save a web page:

A snapshot is a locally stored copy of a web page in the same state as it was when it was saved. Snapshots are available without an internet connection.
