Local office data or marketplace data?

The local desktop office stores execution context and files, while the marketplace manages accounts and published roles. Understanding this split prevents unnecessary resets during a remote login failure.

Compare the practical differences

Decision	Local office	Marketplace
Best fit	Employees, task history and workspaces	Accounts, catalog and publication versions
Useful property	Remains on the user’s computer	Belongs to the chosen server
What to check	Needs its own backup for important files	Requires a valid session for protected features

A concrete choice

If a catalog login expires but existing employees remain visible, reauthenticate to the marketplace before touching local data.

Verify the choice

Verify remote access and local file availability independently after recovery.

Write the reason for your choice into the task brief or setup notes. Then run a small representative task and compare the actual result with the requirement that drove the decision. Keep any unmet requirement visible rather than declaring the whole workflow ready from a single successful step.
