Sharing a Bib(la)TeX Library
When sharing a Bib(la)TeX library, JabRef automatically recognizes a change in the bib
file on disk and notifies the user of it. This works well on network drives.
Note: the use of a version control system (SVN, git, etc.) is recommended as this will allow for reverting changes.
To make the sharing of a Bib(la)TeX library easier, it is recommended to set specific library properties. In the menu Library → Library properties:
Select
UTF-8
as encoding.Define a
General file directory
, which will be used to store shared PDF (and other) files.Check
Refuse to save the library before external changes have been reviewed
.Define a sort order (
year
,author
,title
is recommended)..Check
Enable save formatters
, and defines these actions, to help enforcing a consistent format for the entries.
