Article: In order to share references, you need access to your EndNote online library. Basic users will always be online and don't need to worry about syncing anything. However, if you've got Desktop and haven't yet set up an EndNote online account, you'll need to do it now. The sync button will bring up a pop-up window that will allow you to click "Sign Up." You can then create an online EndNote account using the email address of your choice. " Once you've navigated to your online account, go to your groups. References can only be shared if they're in groups. " Each group has a sharing option represented by a tiny box. Once you've clicked it, hit "manage sharing," then "start sharing this group." You can then enter the email address of the person you'd like to share with. It must be the email address that someone uses to log into their EndNote online account. If your colleague doesn't have an EndNote account, you can't share your group with them! You can type in multiple email addresses if you'd like to share the group with more than one user. If you have emails saved to a file on your computer, you can also use this to share the group. When you share your group, you can select either "Read Only" or "Read and Write." Selecting "Read and Write" lets the people you've shared the group with add and delete references, and use the list to generate citations and bibliographies. The "Read Only" option will allow your fellow EndNote users to just view the list. Groups that have been shared with you that you can edit will have a little book-and-pencil icon next to them. Once you've selected which users you'd like to share the group with and decided whether you want them to edit or just read what you're sending, click the "Apply" button. Your group is now shared! Groups that you've shared will have a little "people" icon next to them in your list of groups. Be aware that any file attachments you've got linked to your citations will not be shared. " Groups that are sent to you are kept separate from groups that you've created. Look for the new list underneath your current list of self-generated references.
