+# Sitecore GraphQL in the sample app
+
+## Disconnected mode
+
+If you created the app using `jss create my-app nextjs --fetchWith GraphQL`, your services will use the Sitecore GraphQL endpoint. 
+
+Sitecore GraphQL does not come with a disconnected mock service, so it can only operate with a Next.js app in Connected mode. The disconnected server emulates the REST services only.
+
+Therefore, your service factories must return a REST service if you need to work in disconnected mode.
+
+To return a REST service for disconnected development from your service factories, leverage the `JSS_MODE` environment variable, as follows:
+
+1. Edit `src/lib/layout-service-factory.ts`:
+
+```js
+import {
+  LayoutService,
+  GraphQLLayoutService,
+  RestLayoutService,
+  JSS_MODE_DISCONNECTED,
+} from '@sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-nextjs';
+import config from 'temp/config';
+
+export class LayoutServiceFactory {
+  create(): LayoutService {
+    // Switch to REST endpoint if we are in disconnected mode
+    if (process.env.JSS_MODE === JSS_MODE_DISCONNECTED) {
+      return new RestLayoutService({
+        apiHost: `http://localhost:${process.env.PROXY_PORT || 3042}`,
+        apiKey: config.sitecoreApiKey,
+        siteName: config.jssAppName,
+      });
+    }
+
+    return new GraphQLLayoutService({
+      endpoint: config.graphQLEndpoint,
+      apiKey: config.sitecoreApiKey,
+      siteName: config.jssAppName,
+    });
+  }
+}
+
+export const layoutServiceFactory = new LayoutServiceFactory();
+```
+
+2. Edit `src/lib/dictionary-service-factory.ts`:
+```js
+import {
+  DictionaryService,
+  RestDictionaryService,
+  GraphQLDictionaryService,
+  JSS_MODE_DISCONNECTED,
+} from '@sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-nextjs';
+import config from 'temp/config';
+
+export class DictionaryServiceFactory {
+  create(): DictionaryService {
+    // Switch to REST endpoint if we are in disconnected mode
+    if (process.env.JSS_MODE === JSS_MODE_DISCONNECTED) {
+      return new RestDictionaryService({
+        apiHost: `http://localhost:${process.env.PROXY_PORT || 3042}`,
+        apiKey: config.sitecoreApiKey,
+        siteName: config.jssAppName,
+      });
+    }
+
+    return new GraphQLDictionaryService({
+      endpoint: config.graphQLEndpoint,
+      apiKey: config.sitecoreApiKey,
+      siteName: config.jssAppName,
+    });
+  }
+}
+
+export const dictionaryServiceFactory = new DictionaryServiceFactory();
+```
