EndNote

You should only have one EndNote Library. Multiple libraries inevitably means confusion with where references are saved, duplication and mistakes.  However, you can have the same EndNote Library available on more than one device, and to do this, you need to 'sync' your EndNote 21 Library with EndNote Web.  Syncing with EndNote Web also:

• allows you to share your EndNote Library, or selected reference groups, with colleagues/friends
• gives you access to 'Cite While You Write' for Google Docs
• use the bookmarklet

If you have previously used EndNote Online/Basic and wish to start using EndNote Desktop, syncing will get all of your existing references into your new EndNote 21 library.

If you wish to sync your accounts, you do this within EndNote 21:

1. In EndNote, go to the Edit menu (or EndNote menu on the macOS) and select 'Preferences...' > Sync
2. Click the 'Enable Sync' button to go to the EndNote Web Login.  Follow the instructions.
3. Once you have enabled the sync, check the tickbox that says 'Sync Automatically'
4. Click 'OK'
