-**Local song offset** is an offset which moves the appearance of [hit objects](/wiki/Hit_object) in relation to the audio of individual [beatmaps](/wiki/Beatmap). This can be helpful for players who experience auditory or visual delays. Local song offset works alongside the [global offset](/wiki/Client/Options/Universal_offset) to calculate a total offset.
+**Local offset** (or less commonly *offline offset*) is a setting which moves the appearance of [hit objects](/wiki/Hit_object) in relation to the audio of individual [beatmaps](/wiki/Beatmap). This can be helpful for players who experience auditory or visual delays. Local song offset works alongside the [global offset](/wiki/Client/Options/Universal_offset) to calculate a total offset.
+
+## Behaviour
+
+Local offset is customised on a per-beatmap basis. It works by shifting all gameplay elements ([hit objects](/wiki/Gameplay/Hit_object), background [storyboards](/wiki/Storyboard) and videos, as well as storyboard sound samples) relative to the audio track by a specified amount of milliseconds:
+
+- **Negative** values will move gameplay elements **earlier**.
+- **Positive** values will move gameplay elements **later**.
+
+Note that the [universal offset](/wiki/Client/Options/Universal_offset) shifts elements in the opposite direction.
+
+Most of the time, the local offset is best kept at 0 (provided that beatmaps have their timing set up correctly), unless individual hardware issues get in the way. In case of several players getting the same hit difference[^hit-difference], it is worth contacting a member of the [Nomination Assessment Team](/wiki/People/The_Team/Nomination_Assessment_Team), who can confirm the issue and apply an [online offset](/wiki/Offset/Online_offset).
+
+## Controls
 
 At the start of gameplay, the local song offset can be changed by pressing:
 
 - `+` to increase the offset by 5 milliseconds
 - `-` to decrease the offset by 5 milliseconds
-- `Alt` + `+` to increase the offset by 1 milliseconds
-- `Alt` + `-` to decrease the offset by 1 milliseconds
+- `Alt` + `+` to increase the offset by 1 millisecond
+- `Alt` + `-` to decrease the offset by 1 millisecond

-**Online offset** is an offset that can be applied to a [beatmap](/wiki/Beatmap) after it is initially [ranked](/wiki/Beatmap/Category#ranked). This is usually done when a beatmap needs small timing changes to correctly line it up with the song. Online offset values are applied on top of a player's [universal offset](/wiki/Client/Options/Universal_offset) and [local offset](/wiki/Glossary/Local_song_offset) values.<!--technically it's universal offset -> online offset -> local offset but that's probably not worth mentioning here-->

+
+## Behaviour
+
+The online offset is customised for individual mistimed beatmaps by a website administrator or a member of the [Nomination Assessment Team](/wiki/People/The_Team/Nomination_Assessment_Team), and is automatically fetched by osu! together with the [leaderboards](/wiki/Ranking). Similarly to the local offset, it works by shifting all gameplay elements relative to the audio track by a specified amount of milliseconds:
+
+- **Negative** values move gameplay elements **earlier**.
+- **Positive** values move gameplay elements **later**.
 
 All online offset values are stored locally for later use. This allows the values to be applied even if a player is playing offline as long as they have been connected to the internet prior to importing or playing the beatmap.

-**Universal offset** is the audio offset [option](/wiki/Client/Options) that applies to all [beatmaps](/wiki/Beatmap) in the osu! client. Setting it to a value other than `0` adds a delay between every beatmap's song and the other associated sounds and graphics. Setting the universal offset to a positive value will make the sounds and graphics associated with the beatmap appear earlier, while setting it to a negative value will make them appear later.
+**Universal offset** (or **global offset**) is an [option](/wiki/Client/Options) which moves the appearance of [hit objects](/wiki/Hit_object) in relation to the audio in all [beatmaps](/wiki/Beatmap). This can be helpful for players who experience auditory or visual delays. The universal offset works alongside the [local song offset](/wiki/Offset/Local_offset) to calculate a total offset.
 
-Each player's optimal universal offset value differs due to variations in their systems. A Universal Offset, other than `0`, should only be used when **all beatmaps** have a noticeable delay. Otherwise, a [local offset](/wiki/Glossary/Local_song_offset) should be used instead. An incorrectly determined universal offset will cause significant timing problems on all beatmaps.
+## Behaviour
+
+Universal offset works by adding a specified delay between every beatmap's song and other associated sounds and graphics. Unlike [local](/wiki/Offset/Local_offset) or [online](/wiki/Offset/Online_offset), it is applied to the audio rather than gameplay elements, producing the opposite effect:
+
+- **Positive** values will move gameplay elements **earlier**.
+- **Negative** values will move gameplay elements **later**.
+
+It is usually worth keeping the universal offset at its default value, `0`, since an incorrectly determined universal offset will cause significant timing problems on all beatmaps. However, if **all beatmaps** have a consistent and noticeable timing issues, using a different value may be beneficial.[^local-offset] Each player's optimal universal offset value differs due to variations in their systems.
+
+## Controls
+
+![](img/uo-settings-button.png "The universal offset controls, containing a slider and the Offset Wizard button")
+
+The universal offset's value may be changed directly in the [options](/wiki/Client/Options). Alternatively, it may be tailored to the current setup by using [Offset Wizard](/wiki/Client/Options/Offset_Wizard).
+
+## Notes and references
+
+[^local-offset]: In case of consistent timing problems with individual beatmaps, [local offset](/wiki/Glossary/Local_song_offset) should be used instead.
