EndNote X7.2 offers you the possibility to share your entire library with up to 14 other EndNote X7.2 users, no matter where they are. Starting now, you can use unlimited online storage of your references and libraries, letting you share and store as many files and libraries as you need.

Library Sharing
How to join a library someone has shared with you
Once you’ve accepted the invitation, follow these 3 easy steps:
-
Create an EndNote account (if you don’t have one yet) and connect it to your desktop version of EndNote X7.
-
In the Preferences menu, select Sync. Follow the instructions to log in or set up a new account.
-
Once connected, select File > Open Shared Library
There’s no charge for sharing, no library size limit and no charge for unlimited cloud storage. Start sharing! You can now add to, annotate and use the library, even if others are using it at the same time.
More details on how to share an EndNote research library
Who can I share my library with?
Anyone who has EndNote X7, no matter where they are located. EndNote library sharing is not restricted to people within the same firewall or organization.
How many libraries can I share?
You can share one library from your Mac or Windows desktop. The library that you share will also be the library that you can access online at my.endnote.com or on your iPad using the EndNote for iPad app. There is no limit to the number of libraries that can be shared with you by others.
Can I access a shared library from anywhere?
If you are the one who shared the library, you have access to this library on your desktop, online, or on your iPad. If you have been invited to access someone else’s library, you can only access this library from your desktop.
How do I share my library with someone?
Just go to File > Share and enter the email addresses of people to share with (up to 14 total, plus yourself). If you haven’t set up your EndNote account, you will be prompted to do this first. Since sharing relies on our sync services, all users accessing the library must have an EndNote online account connected with their desktop version of EndNote X7.
What if I no longer want to share my library?
You can easily control access to your library from your desktop version of EndNote X7. Add or remove individual access by going to File > Share.

What's new since EndNote X7?
PDF auto import
Allows researchers to identify a folder where PDFs are commonly saved that EndNote will automatically import in their specified library.
Improved PDF naming
Allows researchers to define a friendly naming schema that EndNote will use to present PDFs inside EndNote and when using these files outside EndNote.
Auto groups for PDF folder imports
When using the option to import recursive folders of PDFs, auto-create groups based on the sub-folder names and add those records to those groups.
Citing in PowerPoint
Added support to insert citations, edit citations, and generate a bibliography in PowerPoint.
Category bibliography in CWYW
Provides setting controls to format the bibliography using new category options in CWYW. When CWYW updates the bibliography, it formats it according to those selected settings but also gives the user options for custom categories.
