In Zotero, click "Import…" in the "File" menu. A dialog box will appear asking you to select the file to import. Navigate to the location where you exported your EndNote library (if you followed the above instructions, this should be My Documents\endnote.Data) and select the XML file.

The EndNote library will be imported into a separate collection. You may remove the collection (right-click -> Delete Collection…) without deleting the imported references (they will remain in the root of your library). | |

Note, if Zotero encounters any fields in the Endnote XML data that it does not support (e.g., custom fields, author address, author affiliation), it will add these data to a note attached to the imported item. These notes will be tagged with "_EndnoteXML import". If the import adds many of these notes, Zotero's performance can be negatively impacted. You should review each of these notes to determine if the data need to be retained (you can also move these data to the Zotero "Extra" field). Any unnecessary notes can be deleted. Additionally, you should check these notes to determine if any data could be migrated to proper Zotero fields (this is particularly important if you were using Endnote fields in non-standard ways). | Note, if Zotero encounters any fields in the Endnote XML data that it does not support (e.g., custom fields, author address, author affiliation), it will add these data to a note attached to the imported item.
