We are using the latest version of Central and Collect with offline entities.

My question is how the optional review and approval of submissions before updating or creating an entity interacts with the new workflow of offline entities ?

Many thanks

They don't work together quite as well as we'd like! You can read more at [Collect: Coming soon, Offline Entities! - #3 by LN](https://forum.getodk.org/t/collect-coming-soon-offline-entities/46505/3)

Our current plan is for Collect not to create Entities offline when an Entity List is configured to require submission approval for Entity creation. We think this will likely happen in the next Collect release.
