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-8as 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,titleis recommended).. - Check
Enable save formatters, and defines these actions, to help enforcing a consistent format for the entries.
