A few questions - returning to Citavi after a long break

Postby Empathy » 2017-09-21 07:10

System information: [ Citavi Version 5.0-5.6, Windows 10, English, Google Chrome, MS Office 2013/365 64Bit, Acrobat DC ]

Hi everyone,

I used Citavi for a few months but then went on Internship for the past year where I didn't use it. Now I am back to working on my dissertation and trying to get back into it. Of course there is a new version, an I updated mine. I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with.

- When I open my dissertation in Word, is there a way of seeing which Citavi project it was last connected with? I found two projects that have around the same number of references but neither has one of the references in my document which I think the latest one should have had. I have multiple hard drives so it would really help me to know the name of the project before I do more searches.

- In Word how do I even know my dissertation is actively connected to a Citavi project, like if it's connected to the project I have open at the same time. Is there something I need to do to actively link the two, and if so, what do I need to do? And if I then open another project, it won't interfere, true?

- Finally, there was an update and I downloaded it. It keeps telling me that it will update upon close but it doesn't update. I have clicked on Install Update multiple times, it shuts Citavi down, and when I open it again, it's the same version. Do I need to do anything else to get it to update? Here is a screenshot of what the window I am using looks like.

Thank you for any help!!

Hello Empathy,

The Citavi Word AddIn should show you which project is linked with your word dokument.

The AddIn is either visible on the side of your word document when you open it, or if not - select the Citavi tab on top of your word document. If you "Click here to start Citavi" the correct project should open.

If you already have the correct project open when you start word, your document should automatically connect with your project.

You can have several projects open at the same time, but only one project ever should be connected with your word document. You cannot start your document with one project and then switch to another.

Regarding the update I am afraid I cannot give you much advise there, apart from the usual question if you have the appropiate rights on the computer you are working with.
You may also want to try not to use the update button in Citavi but download the installation file directly from here.
I am sure the Citavi Support Team will be able to tell you more about that issue.

Kind regards
