Saving a Copy of a Library

EndNote automatically saves changes to your library as you work with it, so there is no Save or Save As command for the library. You can, however, use the Save a Copy command to create an exact copy of your library.

To create a copy of your library:

1. With a library open, select Save a Copy from the File menu.
2. Name the new library and choose where to save it.
3. Click Save and EndNote creates a copy of the library.

The new library does not open, it is saved to disk, where you can then open it with EndNote. EndNote leaves your original library open as it was before the command was chosen.

Note: The Save a Copy command creates a [library name].enl file as well as a [library name].Data folder for the new library, and copies all necessary files and figures to it.
