# Cloud and workspaces

> Add accounts, encrypted revision sync, workspace governance, and remote execution without removing local workflows.

Signing in adds organisations, workspaces, encrypted workflow sync, approval/publication, shared resources, and remote runners. Personal local execution remains available without an account.

## Ownership stays explicit

Every shared resource carries an `ownerType` and `ownerId`. A personal workflow is not inferred to belong to a workspace after sign-in. Import or sync it deliberately when you want workspace governance.

## What the Cloud view handles

* account and workspace selection;
* local and cloud revision status;
* upload/download of encrypted workflow revisions;
* conflict resolution without silent graph merging;
* approval requests and votes;
* publication of an approved exact revision; and
* workspace/runner context needed for remote work.

## Local continuity

During a control-plane outage, local edits and local executions continue. Sync, marketplace, remote command, and cloud status report unavailable or waiting instead of blocking a personal local workflow.

<Note>
  Workflow sync uses service-readable envelope encryption. It is not described as end-to-end encryption because the service can process the key envelope as implemented.
