How can I Sync my EndNote 21 Library?
Answer
To enable the Sync process, you must have an EndNote 21 account. To create an account, follow the instructions here.
Open the library that you want to Sync, and follow the below instructions. You can only Sync one library and one EndNote account.
- Select the ‘Edit’ menu
- Click ‘Preferences’
- Select ‘Sync’
- Under ‘EndNote Account Credentials’, enter your account details
- Click ‘Save'.
Select 'Sync Automatically' to enable the Sync process to run in the background
If it is your first time using the Sync function, you will be prompted to create a backup library. Click 'Yes' to create the backup when prompted, select your save location, then click 'Save'.
To change the account used for Sync, select 'EndNote Account Credentials' and enter the email and password for the account you would like to use.
If you try to Sync with another desktop library, the libraries will be merged. To merge two libraries:
- Open the library that you want to merge with your previously synced library - this will be the library that you sync in the future.
- Select 'Groups' and choose 'Sync Status'.
- Click 'Sync Now', and select 'Yes' to merge the libraries.
-
You will be prompted to create a backup, select 'Yes' if you wish to do so.
