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. You also need ZotLit Companion, the Zotero add-on. Install the Companion before you start the first tutorial.

Create your first literature note

Pick an item from your Zotero library and create a literature note in Obsidian with 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 ejecting a template, changing its markup, and updating the note in place.
