# Online and Offline

There are two modes of operation for the In-Sight vision system:

- Offline

  While offline, the In-Sight 3D EasyBuilder adapter provides full editing capabilities.

- Online

  While online, the In-Sight 3D EasyBuilder adapter is in read-only operation, and the job file can be monitored and external inputs and outputs are capable of interacting with the vision system.

From the In-Sight 3D EasyBuilder adapter, you can switch between modes by pressing the Play button to go Online. Press it again to go Offline.

Note: Alternatively, you can switch between modes using the vision system menu, or press the Ctrl+F8 key.
