# Live vs local teams

When publishing an exercise, you have **2 options for teams uploads**:

| Option      | Definition                                         |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Live teams  | These are the teams already uploaded to your space |
| Local teams | These are the exercise teams in the Editor         |

Your **live teams could be different from your exercise teams** (local teams) if you haven't uploaded them to the selected space. 

In the example below, the live and local teams don't align. This is because the teams from a different exercise or from an earlier upload are currently active in the selected space. To correct this, select `Upload exercise teams` to overwrite the live team in the space
