# Offline read and write

Add, edit, and delete Remote Desktop Manager entries while offline using Read/Write mode, then review and resolve sync conflicts once back online.

The ***Read/Write*** offline mode allows the user to add, edit and delete entries while the workspace is offline. Those changes are saved locally and synchronized with the workspace once it is back online.

See [Offline mode](/rdm/getting-started/workspaces/offline-mode.md) to know which permissions to grant in order for this to work for each workspace.

{% hint style="info" %}
Some functionalities are not available while offline, but the [user vault](/rdm/user-interface/navigation-pane/user-vault.md) is still accessible.
{% endhint %}

### Offline edits workflow

1. Connect to the workspace, and click on ***File – Go offline***.
2. Make the desired edits and save them. Go back online by clicking on ***File – Go online*** once the changes are completed.
3. Accept or reject the offline changes in the ***Offline edits*** window. The ***Compare session modifications*** button allows for a side-by-side comparison of the changes.
4. Click on ***Ok*** once the changes have been accepted or rejected to satisfaction.ve

{% hint style="warning" %}
When conflicts occur, the user causing them must decide to accept or reject the changes. The different versions of the entry can be compared to view which changes has been made.
{% endhint %}

### Compare versions of an entry

Click the ***Compare session modifications*** button to compare the versions of a conflicted entry. Analyze the XML structure of the entry to decide to ***Accept*** or ***Reject*** the changes.

The content on the left represents the entry retrieved online, and the content on the right represents the local version of the entry edited in Offline mode.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/getting-started/workspaces/offline-mode/offline-read-and-write.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
