- EndNote libraries consist of two parts: the enl file and the Data folder. You must keep these two components together at all times; both are essential for the library to work correctly.
- Keep EndNote libraries on your computer's local hard drive. Storing and editing libraries on a network drive can lead to corruption and performance issues.
- You should never store active EndNote libraries inside cloud-syncing folders such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, SugarSync, etc. Syncing folders such as these will significantly increase your chances of encountering library corruption.
- Though not a requirement, we recommend uninstalling your previous version of EndNote before installing a new version.
- Synchronize references in EndNote libraries between desktop and laptop computers, an EndNote Web library and an iPhone or iPad using Sync.
- Share complete EndNote libraries with other EndNote desktop users through EndNote Sync and Library Sharing.
To sync your EndNote library on multiple computers/devices, create an EndNote account using your LLUH email address.
If you want to share your references with someone who does not have access to EndNote, you can create a word document with your references.
*These references will not be coded in EndNote. This is useful when you want to share your references but not access to your EndNote library file.
