are using
Will be overwritten the next time you synchronize the application
if the changes were made to the shared folders

Content Sharing in Disconnected Analytics
There are differences in the way data is shared in Disconnected
Analytics versus the network-based Siebel Analytics:
Disconnected Analytics users can only make modifications to My
Dashboard
Disconnected Analytics users must store all reports in their private
folder and not in a shared folder
Changes made to Dashboards in the Disconnected Analytics
application are not transferred to the Siebel Analytics Web
Dashboards
