Starting with a short introduction to the global automorphism theory, I will motivate as such the local viewpoint, and overview some of the most important local properties which are investigated nowadays. Recent results on skew translation quadrangles and forms will be described, including a solution of a question of Payne which generalizes work of Havas etal. (Finite geometries, groups, and computation, 2006; Adv Geom 26:389-396, 2006), and then I will mention parts of a classification of skew translation quadrangles which is being prepared by the author. Finally, I will consider conditions which are both global and local.
