- Download remotely updated files in “as needed” file sync mode
- Previously, files updated remotely wouldn't be downloaded in “as needed” mode if a copy of the file already existed locally, and they could only be re-downloaded by deleting the file via Show File. This change causes remotely modified files that exist locally to be downloaded at sync time, even in “as needed” mode.
- Files modified remotely before this change won't be downloaded at sync time in “as needed” mode, but they'll now be re-downloaded on open.

New in Zotero 5.0.82 (Jan 22, 2020)
- Page number entry improvements in citation dialog
- It's now possible to type page numbers with or without “p” before or after making a selection.
- For the first citation, you can search by number alone. After making a selection, if you want to search for an additional citation by number, press the spacebar first, which will lock the previously entered selection and prevent a number alone from turning into a page number. Clicking on a bubble and entering a page number in the popup also locks the citation.
- If you add an additional citation in the same dialog and it's sorted earlier in the list, typing a page number will now properly apply to that citation rather than to the right-most citation.
- You can move between citations with the left/right arrow keys and use “p123” (the “p” is required in this case) to add or overwrite the locator for the citation to the left of the cursor.
- Fixed cursor positioning around citation bubbles (since 5.0.78)
