Do not save your library on a cloud service or network drive

It is not recommended to save your EndNote library on a cloud-based service (Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud etc) or a network disc because the library can be damaged. Clarivate recommends to save the library on a local hard drive (C:\) and backup the library by syncing it to EndNote Online.

After you have installed EndNote to your computer, open the program.

1. Create a new EndNote library by selecting: File -> New.

2. The default location for your EndNote library is under "My documents", but you may choose to store it somewhere else on your computer. Also, you may change the name from "My EndNote library" to something else. We recommend that you only have one EndNote library with all your references. See "Create Groups and Smart Groups" to create subsets of your references.
