-The \toolbtntwo{offline_editing_copy}{Offline Editing} Plugin ...
+For data collection, it is a common situation to work with a laptop or a cell
+phone offline in the field. Upon returning to the network, the changes need to
+be synchronized with the master data source, e.g. a PostGIS database. If several
+persons are working simultaneously on the same datasets, it is difficult to
+merge the edits by hand, even if people don’t change the same features.
+The \toolbtntwo{offline_editing_copy}{Offline Editing} Plugin automates the synchronisation by copying the content of a datasource (usually PostGIS or
+WFS-T) to a spatialite database and storing the offline edits to dedicated
+tables. After being connected to the network again, it is possible to apply the offline edits to the master dataset.
+
+\minisec{Using the plugin}

+\begin{itemize}
+\item Open some vector layers, e.g. from a PostGIS or WFS-T datasource
+\item Save it as a project
+\item Press the 'Convert to offline project' button and select the layers to
+save. The content of the layers is saved to spatialite tables.
+\item Edit the layers offline.
+\item After being connected again, upload the changes with the 'Synchronize'
+button.
