EndNote X9

Don't forget to save a copy of your EndNote library to ensure you don't lose your work.

There are a number of ways to create a backup:

• Create a compressed library.
• Sync with EndNote Online.
• Save an exact copy of your library to a different folder.

Do NOT save or back up your EndNote library in a cloud environment, such as Dropbox or Google Drive or even a network drive. This will eventually corrupt or damage your library. It is strongly recommended to save your library on your local hard drive.

It's possible to set up an automatic synchronization to EndNote Online. You will have to create an EndNote Online account to set up the synchronization.

1. Create an account at www.myendnoteweb.com. (NB! Use this link if you are outside of campus https://ezproxy.library.bi.no/login?qurl=https://access.clarivate.com/login?app=endnote)
2. Click Sign Up and follow the registration steps. NB Don't use Sign in with Facebook of Sign in with LinkedIn.

3. In EndNote X9 select Tools -> Sync to set up the synchronization.

4. A dialog box will appear - fill in your user credentials.
5. Click OK.

4. The synchronization setup is now complete.

You can save your EndNote library to a single compressed file in order to easily back up your library or send a copy of the library on e-mail to yourself.

1. Select File -> Compressed Library.
   
   
2. In the dialog box, press Next.
3. Choose where you want to save the .enlx backup file.

An EndNote library consists of an EndNote library file with the suffix .enl and a .DATA-folder. To make a backup you must copy both the .enl-file and the .DATA-folder and put them in the same folder.

1. Find your library by using the File Explorer on your computer.
2. Copy BOTH the .enl-file and .DATA-folder.

3. Paste the files into a new folder.
