Sync with EndNote Desktop

Synchronize your EndNote Desktop and EndNote online libraries to ensure that both have identical groups and references. This feature also helps to recover a lost or damaged library.

Before syncing, you need to set up an EndNote online account and it is recommended to backup your EndNote Desktop library before the initial sync.

To enable Sync, follow these steps:

  1. Open EndNote Desktop and go to Preferences.
  2. Select Sync and click Enable Sync.
  3. Enter the e-mail address and password associated with your EndNote online account.
  4. Click OK.

Note: If you want EndNote to automatically sync every 15 minutes in the background, check the Sync Automatically box.

 

To sync the EndNote Desktop and online libraries, follow these steps:

  1. Open EndNote Desktop and go to Library.
  2. Select Sync.

 

Please note:

  1. The sync process can only be initiated from the EndNote Desktop library.
  2. You can only sync one library to an EndNote Online account.
  3. Group sets, smart groups, and combination groups will not be available in your online library after syncing.
  4. To ensure successful syncing of all reference information between your EndNote desktop library and online library, click Sync Status.

Back up your EndNote library regularly. If you have a small library of records (one hundred or less) you can use the Save as option under the File menu. If you have a large library with PDF attachments it is better to use the Compress Library option also available under the File menu.

 

To create a Compress Library (.enlx)

  1. Click on File > Compress Library (.enlx).
  2. Select options. For example: Create, With File Attachments and All References in Library.
  3. Click on Next to save it.

 

Note: To restore the compress Library, locate the .enlx file    and double click on it.
