Personal Folder

Users/[Your Folder]/Documents/EndNote

These folders are created when you create or modify a file:

• Styles folder contains new or modified bibliographic styles

• Connections folder contains new or modified connection files

• Filters folder contains new or modified import filters

While the program folder contains all of the installed styles, connection files, and filters, your personal EndNote folder contains those files that you have created or modified. This prevents changes to the original files, and assures that you will not inadvertently delete a customized file when you remove or upgrade the EndNote program. It also allows you to make changes to files even though you may not have access to modify files in the application folder. EndNote displays a single list of the files found in both locations. If a file of the same name appears in both locations, EndNote will display only the file found in your personal folder.
