Adds a sortable number column to the item list and a space-bar preview window for a selected item's abstract and details.
Zotero One has Atlas grade B (use with care) because a zotero:// link (a web page can open one) can make it install add-ons without asking you (from zotero-plugin-toolkit), and 1 more finding. It works with Zotero 7–10. Last checked 6 Nov 2026.
Downloads a .xpi file (0.8 MB). In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins and install it from the file.
In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
250
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.
263
