# Managing Workspaces in the Server/Client Model

In the ViDi client/server model, the workspaces and image databases are stored on the server, and the clients connect to the server and edit the workspaces that are stored on the server. Multiple clients can connect to the server (at the same time) and access the workspaces residing on the server. When multiple clients are connected to the server, there is a lock mechanism to prevent multiple users from making changes to the same workspace, at the same time.

A previously saved workspace on a client device can be uploaded to the server from the client, using the Import dialog. Once the workspace has been exported from the client to the server, the workspace will be stored on the server.
