What's New with EndNote 21

EndNote 21 is the most up-to-date version of the software and has several new functions. 

Tagging: Tags are customizable labels that let you organize your references however you'd like. You can add tags to references and customize the color and name of the tags. You can add multiple tags to a reference, making tags a great way to quickly organize your references.

New EndNote Web platform: With the newly redesigned EndNote Web, you can sync between online, desktop, and iOS devices. The new EndNote Web is available only to EndNote 21 users.

Compare & restore old references: The single reference restoration feature introduces the ability to compare and restore previous versions of individual references to correct any accidental mishaps. You can also restore your library with the new data restoration function, ensuring your research is not lost.

Cite While You Write (CWYW) in Google Docs: CWYW is available for EndNote 21 customers in Google Docs via Google Workspace Marketplace, making it easier to write your next paper and to collaborate on documents with colleagues.
