The record

Product: EndNote is a bibliography maker, online search tool, and reference and full-text organizer with a collaborative web tool.
AI tools: EndNote 2025’s Research Assistant can answer questions about a document, summarize research, and translate PDFs or selected text.
Research discovery: EndNote 2025 includes Find a Journal and Web of Science citing articles and related records.
Writing integrations: Cite While You Write works with Microsoft Word, Word Online, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and Apache OpenOffice Writer; Apple Pages is also listed as a macOS partner integration.
Database connections: EndNote offers more than 4,000 connection files for searching and importing references from online databases and library catalogs.
Cloud access: EndNote can sync a desktop library with EndNote Web; the product page says a purchase includes three years of EndNote Web access.
Sharing limit: The product page says users can share entire libraries or subsets of references with up to 1,000 people and set access and editing permissions.
Desktop systems: The compatibility page lists Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 10.14 through 15 and 26.
Mobile access: The compatibility page says an EndNote account can provide library access through EndNote online and the iPad app.
License limit: A single-user license is for one person and can be installed on up to three computers.
Trial: The 30-day trial includes all features of the paid version, according to EndNote's installation instructions.
Support: EndNote advertises free product support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by phone, email, or web chat.
Security: Clarivate says it uses administrative, technical, and physical security measures that may include encryption, firewalls, role-based data access, intrusion detection, and data-center physical access controls.
Notable limitation: The compatibility page says multiple users can access a network library simultaneously only in read-only mode; EndNote does not allow them to edit one library at the same time.
