+How the "Edit locally" functionality works when running the desktop client AppImage
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This functionality depends on the desktop client ability to register the mime to handle the nc:// scheme. That is the handler used by the server to open a file locally.
+
+We use AppImage due to its universal compatibility but to take full advantage of the desktop client features you will need a third part software to integrate the AppImage in your system.
+We have tested `AppImageLauncher <https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher>`_ and alternatively there is `Go AppImage <https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage>`_.
+
+Without it, independent of the browser and distro being used, the desktop client will fail to open a document with the local editor when you click on the option "Edit locally" in your Nextcloud instance.
+
+See https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-office-release-solves-document-compatibility-overhauls-knowledge-management/ for more information.

 This option provides the ability to either: keep the existing data (synced by the previous connection) or to start a clean sync (erasing the existing data).

-  Be careful before choosing the "Start a clean sync" option. The old sync folder *may* contain a considerable amount of data, ranging into the gigabytes or terabytes. If it does, after the client creates the new connection, it will have to download **all** of that information again. Instead, first move or copy the old local sync folder, containing a copy of the existing files, to the new location. Then, when creating the new connection choose "*keep existing data*" instead. The Nextcloud client will check the files in the newly-added sync folder and find that they match what is on the server and not need to download anything.

 Make your choice and click "**Connect...**".
 This will then step you through the Connection Wizard, just as you did when you setup the previous sync connection, but giving you the opportunity to choose a new sync directory.
