Some tips

• Zotero library workshops
• Make downloaded files read-only (see file permissions) so that you don't accidentally modify them! You can make copies of the files you want to play with
• Don't be surprised if things break
• Sometimes if you google around, e.g., look at the authors' websites you can find additional resources
