Tutorial

Guided walkthroughs for literature notes, citation workflows, document export, and annotation templates.

These walkthroughs guide you from a fresh install to a working setup. Before you begin, install ZotLit. The first tutorial starts in your Zotero library, which ZotLit opens for you.

Create your first literature note

Open your Zotero library in Obsidian, read a paper beside it, and write a literature note with its metadata and annotations.

Write and export a cited note

Insert a citation, review its reference, and export a Word document with a formatted bibliography.

Build a Pandoc citation workflow

Create one cited note, export it with ZotLit and native Pandoc, and compare the two Word documents.

Customize your annotations

Edit how annotation callouts render by customizing a profile, changing its markup, and updating the note in place.
