How can Zotero batch export multiple documents?

Zotero enables batch exporting of multiple bibliographic items directly from its library interface. This functionality streamlines reference migration and sharing processes substantially. To execute a batch export, users must first select the desired items within their library or a specific collection via shift-click or ctrl/cmd-click. Available export formats include BibTeX, RIS, CSV, and others depending on the user's needs. It is essential to activate the "Keep Updated" option during export when ongoing synchronization with the Zotero library is required. Notably, batch exports primarily cover metadata; exporting full-text PDFs or notes en masse necessitates alternative methods. Users should verify the selected export format's compatibility with their target application. For practical implementation, select the target references, right-click, and choose "Export Items..." from the context menu. Select the preferred format, configure options like character encoding or whether to export notes, specify the output destination file, and finalize the export. This bulk export capability is particularly valuable for preparing references for manuscript submission, transferring libraries to other software, or creating shared bibliographies for collaborative projects, significantly enhancing research workflow efficiency.
