The files will be synced to you local folder and launched in the editor application.

The document is locked in Sovelia and the sync icon is shown by the file.

Any changes you save to the file will be automatically updated to Sovelia Core. When you close the editor application the document object will be unlocked in Sovelia Core.

This default behaviour can be changed in the Sovelia Sync Settings. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/b4de53ee-d7ea-47b4-9a73-8323e3c9c14c/Images/Documentation/image-1715165648283.png)

If you switch of the automatic apply of changes, you will need to manually apply the changes in Sovelia Core.
