Sharing References

You can:

  • Share your library with anyone who’s using EndNote X7, X8, or X9  (up to 100 people)
  • Share your entire EndNote library, including references, PDFs, and annotations
  • Everyone can add to, annotate and use the library – at the same time and track who is making changes
  • There’s no charge for sharing, no library size limit and no charge for unlimited cloud storage.

New in X9:

  • Share just a portion of your library with new group sharing options. Manage team input by providing "write" or "read only" access to your library.

If you do not already have an EndNote Online (formerly called EndNote Web or Basic) account, go to EDIT>PREFERENCES>SYNC>ENABLE SYNC and register for a free account to start sharing.

To sync, go to TOOLS>SYNC or use the Sync Button. 

Once the library is synced, go to FILE>SHARE and enter the email of users you wish to invite to share your library or use the Share Button. They will receive an email and instructions. All users must be running X7 or X8 or X9.
