One of STE's main benefits is it's offline functionality, allowing you to edit a page offline that you have previously downloaded. This means that even when you cannot access Wikidot with your web browser, you can still use STE.

It is this ability that makes the tool so unique and will be the main focus of the upcoming and much-anticipated version 4.
