Multiple Notes per Item

Enhanced Notes lets you create and manage multiple independent notes under a single Zotero library item. This is especially useful for separating reading notes, vocabulary lists, experimental observations, or task trackers related to the same source.
When syncing notes to Markdown:
-
Individual Files: Each note under a Zotero item is exported as its own separate
.mdfile, rather than combining them into a single long document. - Clash Prevention: If multiple notes under the same item share the same name (or generate conflicting filenames based on your templates), Zotero will prompt you to assign a short unique identifier (ID) to distinguish the files on disk and prevent overwrites.
-
Organization: Your templates can use note fields (like
note.keyornote.title) to dynamically partition and name files.
