Is there any difference between two?

Question

Offset Path & Outline Stroke  comes under Effect & Object. Is there any difference?

Doug A Roberts · Accepted Answer

The commands under the object menu will alter existing paths or create new ones respectively. The effects replicate them but as live effects that can be applied non-destructively to objects and individually to separate fills and strokes.

Monika Gause · Answer

They are more different than they are similar.

Outline stroke outlines strokes (without actually outlining anything, it just pretends, because it is an effect)

Offset path enlarges or shrinks shapes. Only when applied to an open path it might look like it does the same as outline stroke (but only when you offset with 0).
