 You can add more than one citation to the output if you want to cite more than one source for the same fact or idea. When you have added all the citations you want, and added all the page numbers or other information to them, you press enter, and the plug outputs a citation and inserts it into the document at the cursor. Depending on your options in the Set Document Preferences dialog, you can edit this citation as normal text, but it is better to put your cursor in the citation and click the Zotero button 'Edit Citation'. This brings back the citation dialog for you to continue adding and removing citations.  You can add more than one citation to the output if you want to cite more than one source for the same fact or idea.

 So, say you have a complete draft and you're ready to print it out and revise it. You've added your citations already, and you want to add the bibliography (or works cited list) at the end. There's a Zotero button for this too, called 'Insert Bibliography' (a red list of lines). Write 'References' at the end of your document, insert a carriage return, and then click this button. If you've checked your database for completeness, then this bibliography will look pretty good already. You may notice at this stage that there's some missing information. For instance, you grabbed the bibliographic entry from Google Books for a book but it did not include the 'place' of the publisher. Don't just edit what's on the page now. Go back to the database and correct the entry. Then press the Zotero button 'Refresh' (arrows). Now the bibliography and the citations have been reformatted from the latest version of the database. It's really important to correct any errors in your citations and bibliography in your database, so that you can refresh and everything in your document will be updated. If you change the document and then later refresh the document from a new database – say you insert a new citation – then you'll lose the changes you made to the other entries in the document.  So, say you have a complete draft and you're ready to print it out and revise it.
