Thanks for the help.

It should be there as well, there's no reason it wouldn't.

Okay thanks. Okay I will generate addresses from watch only in the future. But I did generate an address in the offline wallet and sent bitcoins there. Will this address show up when I get access to my watch only wallet? Or do I need to import another copy from the offline wallet?

You don't generate receive addresses from your offline wallet, you do that from the watching only copy.  You only need to use your offline wallet to sign transactions.

All sounds good to me!

Hi so I transferred my coins into cold storage a while ago using armory. I just bought a whole load more bitcoins so I want to get some confirmation that I have done everything right. I installed ubuntu onto a usb, then booted off the usb. In ubuntu I connected to the internet 1 time and installed armory offline, then disconnected from the internet completely. I created an offline wallet and generated a paper backup. I wrote down my password and all the information on the paper wallet on 3 separate pieces of paper and stored these safely in different locations. This backs up all the addresses that I will ever generate in this wallet right? So I now generated a few addresses over time and have sent bitcoins to them. Everything is safe now right and I can keep generating new addresses within this wallet and sending coins to them and everything will be backed up safely?

I created a watch only copy a while ago and imported to an online computer. It all worked okay and I have sent coins by signing from the offline wallet, but I recently created a new address in the offline wallet and sent coins there. When I have my laptop back up and running again will it automatically show these bitcoins in my watch only wallet, or do I have to import a watch only file again from the offline wallet?

Thanks and sorry if these are obvious questions. I'm quite sure I have done it correctly but would like some clarification for peace of mind.
