## 4.7 Group sharing/ online collaboration

It is possible to share references online, for example if you are doing a study with several people. For this, you can create a group that you can share with people inside and outside the organisation (they must be using Endnote).

1. To share a group, you need an online Endnote account. If you don't already have one, take a look at chapter 1 under synchronise.
2. Then go to the Endnote group you want to share and right-click there to see the options
3. Select share group

4. The following screen appears.

5. In the field at 1, enter the e-mail addresses of the people you want to share the group with. Note: Use the e-mail address they have used for their Endnote account, these cannot be used interchangeably. For example, if someone has used j.jansen@hr.nl for their account, you should not send the invitation to jansj@hr.nl
6. In field 2, you have to specify the invitee's permissions.
7. If you yourself have shared a group with someone else, there is now a “multiple people icon” in front of your group.

8. Groups shared by others can be found under groups shared by others.

Note! Groups shared with you, by someone else, are automatically opened in Endnote's web environment. The web environment has the same functionality, but a different look and feel. If you have any questions about the EndNote web environment, please contact the library.
