CloverDX project is a local CloverDX project. The whole project structure is only on your local computer. All data and graphs reside locally in a project in a workspace, graphs runs locally with help of CloverDX Runtime.

Local projects can be easily versioned with version system of your choice (Git, Mercurial, SVN, Bazaar, CVS, etc.).

CloverDX Server project is a CloverDX project corresponding to a CloverDX Server sandbox. The whole project structure is on CloverDX Server. The files are on the Server and on your local computer.

You save the file locally and CloverDX Designer synchronizes its content with CloverDX Server. When a file is created on the server, the file content is automatically downloaded and you see it in Designer.

You can choose files that will not be synchronized with the Server. These files are chosen according to the file name. For example, you can avoid downloading the data-tmp directory. See Ignored files.

You can avoid downloading files above specified size limit with help of placeholder files.

As the project files are available on your computer, the projects can be versioned with your preferred versioning system, e.g. SVN or Git. See Versioning of server project content.

The graphs in server projects run on the CloverDX Server, therefore you need working connection to the Server to run graphs.

See Working with Server projects for more information.
