Only one (1) library can be synced to the online counterpart; the selected library cannot be easily changed in the desktop, but additional libraries can be merged into the online library
Instead of creating multiple libraries, consider using Groups to organize references within a single library
Online libraries can contain an unlimited number of references and attachments
Only Groups (not Group Sets and Smart Groups) appear in the online library
Synchronize your entire desktop library with your EndNote online account. Enter your Endnote online account credentials in the desktop application's Preferences and automate the sync process by marking the "Automatically Sync" box. Your library will automatically sync every 10-15 minutes while the desktop application is open.
Alternatively, you can initiate the sync process by highlighting Sync Status in the Groups panel and clicking the Sync Now button.
