Use your library on another computer using Sync
Sync Preferences
Sync Preferences allow you to set your preferences so that:
- You do not have to enter your e-mail address and password each time you synchronize your references between EndNote (desktop) and EndNote Web.
- You can update your EndNote library with your EndNote Web library whenever you open or close your default EndNote library on a desktop.
- You can have EndNote automatically begin the Sync process every 15 minutes by selecting the Sync Automatically box under Preferences > Sync.
To access Sync Preferences:
- Go to the Edit menu
- Select Preferences
- Click Sync in the list of preferences.
Important Points to Know about the Sync Process
- You can create an Endnote Web library with an unlimited number of references and unlimited data storage for file attachments.
- Sync includes groups, group associations, group sets, smart groups, and groups within combination groups.
- You can select any EndNote library that you created with EndNote version 8.0 or above to synchronize with your Endnote Web library.
- Sync works with only one library and one Endnote Web account that was set up using your UniSC email address as Username.
- Transfer and Sync used together with mixed versions can result in duplicates. Use Find Duplicates when this occurs to remove duplicates
- Sync will identify transferred references as duplicates. Use Find Duplicates when this occurs.
- Sync includes references that have been moved to the Trash group. If you have references that were moved to Trash in the desktop version, those references will be moved to Trash group in the Web version.
- You cannot synchronize an EndNote library with your Endnote Web library when you are in Online Only mode.
- You can always cancel a Sync process that is currently in progress. However, EndNote processes all information that has gone through the Sync process up to the cancellation point. If there are conflicts between references in EndNote and Endnote Online, then a Sync Conflicts folder appears in the Groups panel listing all record conflicts.
