 `refresh()` reads now and returns after a read that began after the call, so it fits `.refreshable`. On an `.ended` query, it also asks the copy for a new stream. **A query doesn't page**: bound a large list with `ListFilters.limit`.
 
+## Saved views
+
+A `SavedView` is a [`system.view`](/catalog/view) item: a query, and the layouts that show its items. **The working copy answers a view offline**, so every app lists and groups the same items the same way. [Read a view offline](/guides/read-a-view) explains what the copy needs: hydrate `system.view` and every type the view's query names, at the tier the query lists.
+
+```swift
+_ = try await copy.hydrate(types: ["system.view", "core.task"], tier: .all)
+
+guard let view = try await copy.items.view(viewID), let layout = view.settings.layouts.first else { return }
+let tasks = try await copy.items.list(inView: view.id, layout: layout.id, limit: 50)
+let groups = try await copy.items.groups(inView: view.id, layout: layout.id)
+for group in groups { print(group.key, group.count) }
+```
+
+A layout's `kind` says how it shows items, such as `.board` or `.chart(x:y:)`, and carries the options that kind takes. A `ViewGroup` has the group's `key`, its `count` and, for a chart that sums a property, its `sum`. A live query over a layout reads again when an item enters the view, leaves it or changes group, so a SwiftUI view keeps its counts without refresh code:
+
+```swift
+@MainActor @Observable
+final class Board {
+    let groups: LiveQuery<[ViewGroup]>
+    let tasks: LiveQuery<[Item]>
+
+    init(copy: WorkingCopy, viewID: String) {
+        groups = LiveQuery(copy, reading: .groups(inView: viewID, layout: "board"))
+        tasks = LiveQuery(copy, reading: .list(inView: viewID, layout: "board"))
+    }
+}
+```
+
+| Call | What it does |
+| --- | --- |
+| `items.views()`, `items.view(_:)` | Every view the copy holds, or one, `nil` when it isn't held. |
+| `items.list(inView:layout:limit:offset:)` | A page of the view's items in a layout's sort. `layout: nil` is the first layout. |
+| `items.groups(inView:layout:timeZone:)` | A layout's groups with their counts. Date groups follow `timeZone`, or the device's. |
+| `search(_:inView:limit:)` | Full-text search within the view's query. |
+| `Reading.views`, `.view(_:)`, `.list(inView:)`, `.groups(inView:layout:)` | The same reads, for a `LiveQuery`. |
+
+**A view the copy can't answer whole is refused with its reason,** never answered in part: `invalid` names a type or tier the slice lacks, `notFound` with the code `not_held` means the copy doesn't hold the view, and `hydrationIncomplete` means a hydration is still filling the copy.
+
+### Create, change and delete a view
+
+`createView(_:idempotencyKey:)`, `changeView(_:_:baseVersion:idempotencyKey:)` and `deleteView(_:idempotencyKey:)` write at once and never queue, like the folder writes: with no server, or none reachable, they throw and nothing waits to be sent. A change replaces each setting it names whole and leaves the others as they are.
+
+```swift
+let attempt = UUID().uuidString
+let made = try await copy.createView(
+    ViewSettings(
+        title: "Open tasks",
+        query: ViewQuery(types: ["core.task"], filter: "tags contains \"work\""),
+        layouts: [
+            ViewLayout(
+                id: "board", kind: .board, sort: [ViewSort(by: "created_at", direction: .descending)],
+                group: ViewGrouping(by: "properties.status", order: ["todo", "doing"])),
+            ViewLayout(id: "list", kind: .list),
+        ]),
+    idempotencyKey: attempt)
+
+let renamed = try await copy.changeView(
+    made.id, ViewSettingsChange(title: "Work tasks"), baseVersion: made.version)
+
+try await copy.deleteView(renamed.id)
+```
+
+- **Retry a create with the same key.** If the connection drops after the request went out, the server may have made the view. Retrying with the same `idempotencyKey` answers the first view instead of making a second. Without a key, the SDK makes one for each call.
+- **Name the version you changed from.** The server merges a change to settings nobody else touched since `baseVersion`. A setting changed since then throws `server` with status 409 and the code `version_conflict`, and the copy keeps the view it held. Read the view again and decide.
+- **A delete removes the view for good.** The copy drops it at once, and a live query over the views stops listing it. A view the server no longer has throws `notFound` with the code `item_not_found`.
+
+| Refusal | Thrown as |
+| --- | --- |
+| A query the server doesn't accept | `validation` with the code `validation_error` |
+| A key that may not write `system.view` | `forbidden` with the code `type_not_permitted` |
+| A change to a revoked view | `validation` with the code `invalid_transition` |
+| A stale change to a setting that moved | `server`, status 409, the code `version_conflict` |
+| A delete of a view that is gone | `notFound` with the code `item_not_found` |
+| No server, or none reachable | `noServer`, or `network` |

 ## Folders on a Mac
 
 On macOS, `Folders` keeps a directory of files in step with a folder on the instance, and shares the Mac's list of folders with `marfa folders`. **Nothing is written into the directory or sent until the first sync is confirmed.** [Sync a folder](/guides/sync-a-folder) sets one up, with Swift examples.
