The Library Window Display Modes

Choose from different display modes in the Library window. They include:

Local Library Mode (default mode)
Online Search Mode
Integrated Library & Online Search Mode

Local Library Mode: Displays automatic groups, custom groups, and smart groups, but not Online Groups. This mode keeps you from inadvertently downloading references found during an online search into your currently open library. This is the default mode.

Online Search Mode: Search and download references from online databases. In this mode, only Online Search groups are available. References are downloaded into a temporary library. They are removed when you close EndNote.

Integrated Library & Online Search Mode: All groups and commands are available. When you download references from an online database. EndNote saves them to a group under the Online Search group set and to your open library.

Note: If you decide that you do not want to keep the retrieved references, select them, and then move them to the Trash folder.

Note: We recommend that you use Online Search Mode if you do not want the references downloaded to the All References group.
