Using Groups
EndNote allows you to organise your references into Groups, so you will not need to create separate libraries for subsets of references. Groups appear in the left panel, and can be renamed or deleted. They can also be further organised in Group Sets.
The same reference can be added to several different groups, and references deleted from a group always remain available in All References.
Creating a custom group
Use the group feature to organise references by paper, research topic or assignment etc.
To create a group right click on My Groups in the left panel → Select Create group → Name your group.
Adding references to a group
Highlight the selected reference and drag and drop it from All References in to the relevant group in the left panel.
Opening a group in a new tab
To open a group in a new tab within your EndNote Library 1. Right click on the group → 2. Select Open in New Tab.
