Can Endnote Watch Folder COPY pdfs instead of REMOVING them when importing?

EndNote EndNote How To

Hello Endnote Community,

I am trying to import pdfs from a watch folder to a central library without losing the pdfs into the watch folder. Papers has the option to copy pdfs without deleting them. Does Endnote have this same feature?

In EndNote the feature is called PDF Auto Import Folder.

You can select the folder from where you want EndNote to import your PDFs into your library. Download or copy your PDF files to this folder for automatic importing and renaming.

After EndNote runs the import operation, EndNote creates a subfolder called Import within the Auto Import Folder. EndNote also imports a copy of each PDF to this folder.

So the files are not deleted but moved and copied to your EndNote library.
