BibGenie DocsAdd to Chat Settings
Choose where Zotero shows Add to Chat entry points.
BibGenie adds Add to Chat entry points in several places inside Zotero. You can turn these entry points on or off to keep the Zotero interface aligned with your workflow.
These toggles affect entry-point visibility
Disabling an Add to Chat entry point usually hides that menu item or shortcut. It does not necessarily mean BibGenie cannot add that type of context by other methods.
