Connecting Discogs is optional, but recommended if you already have a collection there: Shelfify imports it and adds physical shelf-location tracking on top. It does not replace Discogs, and your catalog data stays there.
What syncs, and in which direction

Detail
Collection (add/remove records)
Two-way
Changes in Shelfify sync to Discogs; changes on Discogs.com are picked up on next refresh.
Folders
From Discogs
Your existing folder structure is preserved and mirrored.
Conditions & notes
Two-way
Edit media/sleeve condition and notes in either place.
Wantlist
Two-way
Add from Shelfify's Discovery feature; syncs automatically, refreshes every 24 hours.
Marketplace prices
From Discogs
Lowest current listing price, cached 24 hours per release. Pro feature, requires internet.
Room layouts & shelf positions
Device only
Discogs has no concept of a physical location, so this never leaves your device.
What works offline
Browsing your shelves, finding a record's exact location, and searching your local collection all work without internet, using cached thumbnails. Full release details, new Discogs searches, and marketplace pricing need a connection.
