Auto Date Stamps

Two Auto Date Stamp fields are tracked in EndNote and can be added to the Reference List panel display.

The Added to Library and Last Updated date fields are inserted when you save a new reference. The Last Updated date is reset each time you save changes to a reference. The date format of the Auto Date Stamp fields matches your default operating system settings (for example, 4/16/2020).

To add the two Auto Date Stamp fields to the Reference List panel, select Edit > Preferences > Display Fields. From the Field column, select the Added to Library and/or Last Updated fields. EndNote populates the Heading column with your selection.

You cannot edit, print, or export either of the Auto Date Stamp fields. You can, however, display and sort these fields from the Reference List panel just as you can any other EndNote field.

Note: For references entered with EndNote version X1 or earlier, the Added to Library field is left blank and the Last Updated field displays the date of conversion to EndNote.
