Syncing EndNote

You can synchronize references between your EndNote Library and EndNote Online, allowing you to access your resources from any computer. To start syncing your library, you must first register for an EndNote Online account.

Set up Syncing via the preferences menu. From the toolbar, go to Edit, select Preferences, and then click Sync in the list of preferences. Click the Enable Sync button the to begin the log-in/sign-up process. From this window you can either log in to an existing account or sign up for EndNote as a new user.

If you already have an EndNote Web account, the EndNote program will ask if you want to merge the accounts the first time you open the EndNote program. You should plan to edit references in only one place—either the online library or the desktop library, and then perform the transfer process
