EndNote desktop: FAQs and tips

Merging two existing local EndNote libraries

The Library recommends using a single EndNote library for all your references, and adding extra groups or group sets for specific projects or subsets of references.

However, if you wish to merge two EndNote libraries, open the EndNote library you wish to make your main library.

1. File menu > Import > File.
