After a successful search, EndNote alerts you to the number of references that were found. You have the option of retrieving all of the references or a specific range of references. The order of the retrieved references reflects the way they were returned from the server—this is not necessarily alphabetical, chronological, or in order of relevance.)
How references are saved is determined by the current display 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.
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.
If you are working in Online Search Mode (the default option), references are downloaded into a temporary library. To save references, highlight them, and then:
Go to the References menu and select Copy References To in order to select a new or existing library and copy the highlighted references to that selected library
Or, click the Copy to Local Library icon on the toolbar to quickly copy the highlighted references to the currently active library
Another way to save references downloaded in Online Search Mode is to use the Copy and Paste commands from the Edit menu to copy individual references from Online Search Mode and then paste them into Local Library Mode.
Leave Online Search mode in one of these ways:
Click on Local Library Mode, which leaves Online Search Mode intact. You can switch between these two modes without losing the current Online Mode references.
Click on Integrated Mode. This closes the current Online Search Mode session. Any references in Online Search Mode are discarded, so make sure you first copy references you want to keep into your permanent library.
Click the corner close button. This closes the entire EndNote library (all modes). Any references in Online Search Mode are discarded, so make sure you first copy references you want to keep into your permanent library.
