The benefit of running in Local Evaluation mode is that you can process flag evaluations much more efficiently as they
are all computed locally.

- Identities and their Traits are **not** read from or written to the Flagsmith API, and so are not persisted in the
datastore. This means that you have to provide the full complement of Traits when requesting the Flags for a
particular Identity. Our SDKs all provide relevant methods to achieve this.
- [Identity overrides](../basic-features/managing-identities#identity-overrides) do not operate at all.
- Identities are _not_ sent to the API and so are not persisted in the datastore.
- Because Local mode does not connect to the datastore for each Flag request, it is not able to read the Trait data of
Identities from the API. This means that you have to provide the full complement of Traits when requesting the Flags
for a particular Identity. Our SDKs all provide relevant methods to achieve this.
- [Analytics-based Integrations](/integrations/overview#analytics-platforms) do not run.
[Flag Analytics](/advanced-use/flag-analytics) do still work, if enabled within the
[SDK setup](/clients/server-side#configuring-the-sdk).
- In circumstances where you need to target a specific identity, you can do this by creating a segment to target that
specific user and subsequently adding a segment override for that segment.
