 ## Accounts
 If you are using an account with Lexiconga, your experience should remain essentially the same, but you will see some additional options in the Settings menu and you might notice some slight changes in performance as it saves to and loads from the database. This saving/loading process prioritizes your local dictionary, so if you ever lose connection, it will keep retrying the upload until connection is re-established. It also attempts to sync every time you load Lexiconga, so please be aware of that if you refresh the page.
