    • You can choose to create a subfolder in Documents called e.g. EndNote-stuff, where you save the library.
    • Find Documents (1), create the subfolder (2). Give your library a personal name (2), Gem (3).
      
       
    • IMPORTANT!
      The EndNote library must be stored locally on your computer in the folder Documents or a subfolder in Documents.
      • DON'T save the library in cloudbased or shared system services such as Dropbox, OneDrive or iCloud, "as it may corrupt over time".
    • The EndNote library opens, when you press Save.
      • TIP: Maximize the window to begin with, so you get an overview of all features. You can recognize the library name in the left corner.
        
        
    • In the future when you open EndNote via the icon in the taskbar, this library will open.
