# Offline read and write

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](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/offline-mode/) 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](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/user-interface/navigation-pane/user-vault/) 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.
