Demo Mobile Workers are mobile workers whose case and form data are never synced with the server. This ensures that practice data is not confused with live reports and data exports, and demo users' practice cases don't appear when mobile workers actually start using the application.

Demo Mobile Workers cannot use the "Sync with Server" functionality. To refresh their data, web admins must go through a special process on CommCareHQ (documented below), which also erases any cases created on local devices. Demo Mobile Worker case data should therefore be considered as temporary, and prone to disappearing when app updates necessitate adding a new data fixture.

Demo Mobile Workers have a username and password just like all other Mobile Workers. But it also possible to specify a particular Demo Mobile Worker to be the mobile worker referenced during "Practice Mode", as described in the documentation below.
