Useful tips from experts

  • You can create many EndNote libraries, but you can only sync and share one of them. 
  • Storing EndNote libraries in cloud-syncing folders or keeping read-write EndNote libraries on network drives or flash drives, will lead to an increased risk of library corruption. However, it is possible to put an EndNote library on a portable hard drive and use it with multiple computers.
  • Use the File > Compress Library command to make backups of your libraries.
