You should now see the imported sources in your Zotero. When you hit Next again, Zotero will import these sources into a new folder that has the same title as your file. Even if you plan to move these into another folder, creating a new folder when importing is recommended so that you can easily review what you've just added. Zotero will confirm that you want to create a new folder ('collection') for these imported sources. Choose the file from your computer it's probably in your Downloads if you didn't specify another location. When asked Where Do You Want to Import From?, choose A File, and click Next. Open your Zotero desktop program, click on the library that you want the folder to be in (either your personal or a group library), and then click on File from the top menu, and then select Import.
