EndNote

Sync Your Library

Please note:

• You can only sync to one EndNote Online account
• You may want to create a compressed copy/backup of your EndNote desktop library before syncing (if you already have references, PDFs, etc.)
• For the first synchronization a large EndNote library may take a long time - future synchronization will be much faster as it only syncs new references.
• After synchronization any reference you delete will be deleted from both the desktop EndNote library and the EndNote Online library.
• Group Sets will not synchronize to EndNote Online.

2. Synchronize an existing EndNote desktop library to an EndNote Online library
3. Synchronize an EndNote Online library to a 2nd computer
