Data on your computer will remain on your machine. Data in your NetWare 3 account will be moved to your NetWare 4 account when your computer is converted. This is part of the conversion process. File updates done after this time should be made to the NetWare 4 copy of this data. If changes must be made to the NetWare 3 copy, special arrangements will have to be made to synchronize the two copies.
Shared areas are areas on the file server where more than one user can save and retrieve files.
