Another use case - topic/Question/
I have a bunch of books 350 that I had exported from Calibre/ZMI as RIS Links and imported into Zotero earlier. I have been using these as references in my research, so I cannot just remove them from Zotero (and reimport the RIS since the retrieval of ZKeys now works.)

Since ZKeys were not updated for these books in Calibre, how do you propose I update the ZKeys in Calibre or reconcile them in both programs?

As a side note, I tried to experiment. Since these books were already in both, I tried the following to put the relevant ZKey in calibre. I was trying to figure out how to reconcile in both. Here are my steps
1. In Zotero, exported the library as csv file
2. In excel, I removed all except the header and one line for that book in csv
3. In Calibre/ZMI, I selected Add Zotero Books and Metadata -> Manual Mode - Single Select CSV Export and updated the Z columns in calibre and select the book. I can view the value of the ZKey that has been updated for this book in Calibre.
4. I try to do ZMI: Comparison, and it says
Total Collection items in Zotero: 1
Total Collection items in Calibre: 0
Key: AUWDQZG4 type: book title: ABCD content: None path: None
Expected differences are equal to the actual differences listed above.



Thank you.
