    Is there a way in word for citations to create a source manager master list that can be saved to a common drive so it can be shared by multiple people ?

    Example

    1. Someone creates a list of references and saves that to a common share drive

    2. A User selects the 'Browse' button in source manager to get the list and have that as their master list

    3. A different user also selects the 'Browse' button and gets the same list to use as the master list

    Result both users are sharing the same master list of sources

    Hi,

    You can create a source manager master list in Word, then click Manage Sources > Browse. Generally, the personal Bibliograghy is saved in the following path by default: %appdata%\Microsoft\Bibliography

    Copy the Sources.xml file to a shared drive. Then share this path to other users. Then other users can open this master list from this shared drive by clicking Manage Sources > Browse. And open the Sources.xml in shared drive.
