2. To add references to groups, select the reference(s) by checking the box and click on the file folder icon with a left pointing arrow (#2 on the screenshot).

5. To delete references, open the group, select the reference(s) and click on the trash can icon.
6. You can change the fields displayed on the reference pane by clicking the "columns" menu on the right-hand side of the screen and selecting or deselecting fields.

• Sync allows you to access your EndNote Library anywhere online.
• EndNote Desktop 21 comes with access to a new version of EndNote Web. Old versions of EndNote Desktop (20, X9) will sync with the old EndNote Web. For instructions using EndNote Web see, the EndNote Basic guide.
• Sync is required for sharing a library (X7.2 or later) among desktop users since sharing relies on EndNote's sync services.

Please note: 

You can sync only one EndNote Library.  If you have questions, please contact us.

See Using Sync (from EndNote Support)

There are two methods for setting up an EndNote online account.

• In EndNote, from the main Library window, click the Sync button that appears in the toolbar to open an EndNote online Login dialog. Click the Sign Up button to begin the registration and activation process. Follow the online instructions. (See "Create an EndNote Account" on this guide's "Set Up Your Library" page.)
• In EndNote, go to the Edit menu (or EndNote menu on the Mac) and select Preferences > Sync Preferences. Click the Enable Sync button to go to the EndNote online Login dialog. Click the Sign Up button to begin the registration and activation process. Follow the online instructions.

NOTE: 
- Please do not move or rename your EndNote library files after they are synchronized, as this will break the link to the Sync target library.
- Sync is designed to work with only one library on a given computer. Attempting to sync multiple libraries will merge references of both EndNote libraries.
