# Worklists & Commits

Any work done in Teams will involve worklists, and commits.

## What is a worklist?

A worklist holds files that have been:

* modified,
* marked for addition or
* deletion.

Those modifications are local to the user’s site. They will only be made available for everyone after the user commits the worklist.

## What is a commit?

Once a worklist is committed, it becomes a commit, and makes its modifications available for everyone.

In comparison to a worklist, a commit holds "published" modifications, and any user syncing to that commit will benefit from those.

## What's next?

Let’s look at a concrete example illustrating worklists and commits in the [How-tos](https://docs.hex-rays.com/user-guide/teams/how-tos/working-with-files) section: adding a file to the Teams Server.
