Sync

Sync your references with your desktop Endnote library

The Sync feature will synchronise the contents of your desktop and Web Endnote libraries.

Previous users of Endnote Web with desktop Endnote

The transfer of references between desktop Endnote X6 and Endnote Web works differently to how it worked in the past. It is no longer possible to maintain different collections of references in desktop and Web libraries.

Important information for all users

Synchronizing your Libraries is designed to mirror the content in desktop and Web Libraries. For this reason references can be lost if Synchronizing is not done correctly.

To avoid losing references or Groups from either Library it is important that you do the following before synchronizing your Libraries:

 Make a backup copy of your desktop Endnote Library

 Rename any Groups that have the same name in both Web and desktop Libraries (before Synchronizing for the first time)

 Advanced users should watch the video below and follow all the recommended steps to make sure no references or Groups are lost when synchronizing with X6 for the first time

 If you plan to synchronize your Library on a second computer please watch the video below for steps on how to do this

 Do not make a change to both your desktop and Web libraries before Synchronizing It is very important that you watch this video before Synchronizing for the first time:

http://youtu.be/xjsJaKRp3s4

Other points about synchronization

 Smart Groups, Combined Groups and Group sets will not be synchronized

 Deleting references or custom Groups in either your desktop or Web library after your first sync will delete them in both libraries

Setting up desktop Endnote with your Web account details

The next step for new and existing users is to link your Endnote Web account to desktop Endnote. It is recommended that you do this on home or work computer and use this computer to do all your

synchronizing.

a. Click on Edit

b. Click on Preferences 3. Mac users:

a. Go to the EndNote X7 menu and choose Preferences

Synchronizing your desktop and Web Endnote Libraries

1. Make sure you have followed the steps above under Important information for all users 2. Go to your desktop Endnote account and ensure that you have your account details entered as

described above 3. Click on the Sync icon:
