Best practice for managing your EndNote library is to:

• maintain one library
• save the library on your hard drive
• compress library
• sync library.

Maintain an EndNote library

We recommend using groups to organise different projects instead of creating multiple libraries, especially if you sync your library to share and back it up.

Refer to the Manage your library: Groups chapter of the EndNote basics tutorial for more information.

Save an EndNote library on your hard drive

We recommend avoiding saving your library on a cloud drive such as OneDrive, Dropbox or a USB to reduce the chances of corruption. Best practice to save your library:

1. Create an EndNote folder on the C:Drive (or MacDrive).
2. Save your library in the EndNote folder to ensure the two files are kept together.

Move an EndNote library

1. If you need to move your EndNote library, make sure EndNote is closed.
2. Transfer both files.
   1. IMPORTANT: Both EndNote files must be kept together for it to work.
3. Open EndNote by double clicking the .enl file to allow EndNote to find the location of the files.
   

Compress an EndNote library 

Compressing your EndNote library creates a file backup of your library.

1. Navigate to the main menu.
2. Select Compress library (.enlx) to create a backup of your library or a stable version that can be shared via email.
   
3. When opening a compressed file, it will recreate the .enl and .data file in the same place the compressed file is situated.
   
   
   1. Refer to the Overview chapter of the tutorial for more information.

How to sync an EndNote library 

Syncing your library creates an online backup of your library and allows you to share your library:

1. Create an EndNote online account.
2. Choose Sync to back up your current references in cloud storage.
3. Enter your EndNote online login details if prompted.
4. Navigate to Edit > Preferences > Sync to update details if needed.
