Copying Styles

When you display a list of styles in EndNote, the list is comprised of the installed styles found in the C:\Program Files (x86)\EndNote 2025\Styles folder as well as new or modified styles found in your personal Styles folder. For an explanation of where your files are stored, see Folder Locations Preferences.

Because each style is a separate file on your hard drive, you can copy them as you would copy any file on your hard drive using the File Explorer.

To copy a style to a removable or network drive, select the style on your hard drive and drag it to the new location, or use the Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) commands. We recommend that you make a backup copy of any new or modified styles. (See Backing Up Your EndNote Files).

To make a copy of a style from within EndNote:

1. From the Tools menu, select Output Styles and select Open Style Manager.
2. Select the style you want to copy and click Edit.
3. Without making any changes to the file, select Save As from the style's File menu.
4. Give this copy of the file a new name and Save it.

The file is saved in your personal Styles folder. The new style will remain open. The original style will be left untouched.
