From within EndNote, click on the Help menu and choose "Check for Updates" then follow the on-screen prompts.
Up to date information on both Windows and Macintosh compatibility and system requirements for EndNote are listed here.
Please ensure your home and work EndNote version are the same if you plan on working with EndNote libraries between your office PC and your home computer.
Use of EndNote with cloud storage services
Clarivate advises that the EndNote software is not compatible with Dropbox or other cloud storage services. These services can be used to store a backup compressed copy of an EndNote Library but Clarivate advises against opening and/or using a Library from a cloud-storage location such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, SharePoint, iCloud, etc.
If you save your EndNote Library to a cloud storage service it is recommended that you copy the files to another location on your computer before you open them. Using Your EndNote Library from a cloud storage service may corrupt your EndNote Library over time.

Configuring EndNote’s Find Full Text for CAHS on your home PC or Mac
You need to set some preferences in order to make use of the Find Full Text function within EndNote.
Open your EndNote program.
|
Windows |
Macs |
|
Edit |
EndNote |
Tick all four boxes: Web of Science; DOI; PubMed LinkOut; and OpenURL.
Do NOT tick the box "Automatically invoke Find Full Text on newly-imported references". If you tick this box it will restrict full-text retrieval as it only pulls in the full text for references that were imported from text files. If the references were imported through direct export or from online search the find full text function will fail.
On WA Health PCs, in the Authenticate with: box, type this URL http://www.google.com.au/ (this step is NOT necessary for home installations). When you click on 
the blue PDF icon that prompts ‘Find Full Text’ when you hover over it, the Google search box comes up. Click on ‘Continue’ to authenticate.
In the OpenURL Path box, you need to put the link to the Library’s open URL resolver as below:
https://login.pklibresources.health.wa.gov.au/login?url=https://findit.health.wa.gov.au/pmh
The Find Full Text function also works more effectively if you have an EndNote web account established and if you login and keep open an active browser session whilst running the function.
Set up an EndNote Web account
Why? If you have integration between your desktop application and EndNote Web Account set up, the Find Full Text Function retrieves more full text than EndNote is able to if this is not synced.
Set up an EndNote Online Account.
Once you have your account set up, go into EndNote preferences on your desktop application, choose
Edit
Preferences
Sync
Enter your EndNote Web Account Credentials and hit 'apply'.
Note that ‘Find full text’ will work well for many journals but will not work for some where full text access is in fact available. Some records will not contain enough information for the article to be retrieved (it’s important to import complete references), access to some titles may only be available via an aggregator and not from the publisher URL that comes with the record, and some journals need to be accessed via a path that includes a login and this cannot be incorporated into EndNote’s Find Full Text search.
Check the Journals A-Z to see if we have access to any missing articles and submit an Article Request if not available. Other options to find subscribed full text – LibKey Nomad Chrome browser plug in.
LibKey from BrowZine is a suite of tools that provides one click access to Library subscribed content. Includes: LibKey Nomad, LibKey Link and LibKey.io.
Plug-ins are browser extensions that allow one click access to subscribed Library resources. They include LibKey Nomad, Lazy Scholar, Access Anywhere, OneClick, Lean Library and the Google Scholar button.
All but LibKey Nomad will be blocked within the Health network due to security concerns, as most scrape up data from browsers and could compromise patient information.
LibKey Nomad will only install on Edge version 83.0.478.50 or later. It will also install on other Chromium browsers such as Chrome and Brave
Go to this link - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/libkey-nomad/lkoeejijapdihgbegpljiehpnlkadljb/related

What LibKey Nomad does:
The Vancouver style is now the preferred style for CAHS and should be used for referencing in all CAHS documents.
You will need to download the modified Vancouver CAHS Style found in the box -titled EndNote Connection Files and Filters
See Downloading Output Styles into EndNote for instructions.
This guide gives examples of the most common reference formats.
Note: Viewing videos with Chrome Edge - ensure sound is not muted. PCH users with NUCs - headphones must be plugged in.
This feature is available for X8 & X9 users.
The Library and WA health only supports EndNote to assist you collect, organize, cite, and share reserach. There are other free tool options for users to use on their own device with a personal account.
Research the advantages and disadvantages before using the tools - such as this overview from Weill Cornell Medicine Samuel J Wood Library.
EndNote works with filters, connectors and styles
filters to pull records from databases into EndNote (Medline, PsycInfo, Web of Science, Embase etc),
connectors to search out to sources such as PubMed from within EndNote and
styles to format referencing according to various styles (such as publisher specific styles, as well as Vancouver, Harvard, APA etc).
EndNote is installed with filters connectors and styles, though it may be necessary to get updates from EndNote.
It is possible to customise filters connectors and styles. If you do this the customised files are not stored in the program files (so that they are not lost if EndNote is uninstalled).
Some useful connectors and filters that are not included in the default files are available for download below.
