Forks and alternatives

4 other plugins use the same ID as this one. Every Zotero plugin carries an ID, a name tag Zotero uses to tell plugins apart. Developers often start from a ready-made template, which comes with a placeholder ID. These plugins never replaced it, so they have nothing in common except that ID.Show what this means
  • You can only have one. Zotero sees them as the same plugin.
  • Installing another replaces it. If you install one of the others, it takes this one's place.
  • They do different things. The one you install may have nothing to do with the one it replaces.
