Library Status Dialog
The Library Status dialog allows you to review information about the currently open library. If it is the EndNote library that you selected to synchronize with your EndNote Web/online library, it will also provide information about that library's Sync status.
Below are screenshots showing differences in the information available before and after a library's first Sync.
Before the First Sync
The Library Status dialog here shows the Configure Sync button because it has not been synced. It also shows information about the location of the library, the number of references in the library, (relative) attachments, absolute attachments, group sets, groups, and tags in the library. (See Selecting a Relative Path or an Absolute Path for File Attachments for information on the differences between relative and absolute attachments.)
After the First Sync
The dialog above shows everything the previous screenshot showed, but it also includes information about the current Sync status, such as if the Sync was completed and all changes were sent, if there were any errors, and what the error message was if there were an error.
Information available in the Library Status dialog will be automatically updated, but can be refreshed at any time by clicking the Refresh Status button.
Text in the status window can be copied and pasted into a text file using the standard Edit > Copy (Ctrl+C) and Edit > Paste (Ctrl+V) commands.
If there is a conflict during the sync process, a Sync Conflicts temporary group will appear in EndNote. See Resolve Sync Conflicts Dialog for information on resolving conflicts and their causes.
Note: Although the Library Status icon appears in the Groups panel, it is not really a group as defined in EndNote.
Sync Details
Check the information under this heading if processing errors occur during a Sync operation. EndNote displays error text and codes in the dialog detailing the problem. For example, you might see an error like this if you are not connected to the Internet:
Error message: EndNote could not connect to the online sync service.
An authorization error might show:
Error message: The username/password specified is not valid.
If you experience problems with EndNote Sync which cannot be worked out from the messages in the Sync Details, contact technical support.
Library Details
This section of the dialog provides information information about the EndNote account the library was Synced to and the serial number associated with that EndNote account. This section also shows information about the local library, including the library name and location, and the number of group sets, groups, and tags.
Sync Limits
This section shows how many references, groups, and group sets you are allowed in your library, and how much attachment storage is available to you. If you are within your free three-year subscription, the attachment storage will be unlimited. If your subscription has expired, you will be limited to 2 gigabytes of attachment storage.
