Seamless offline

Carry on writing even when your internet connection drops suddenly.

We will notify to work offline for the document you are currently working on when there is a sudden drop in your internet. You can continue editing and the changes will be synced automatically once the connection is restored.

Let's see how:

1. When you lose internet in the middle of your work, we will notify with a message saying “You’re facing connectivity issues. Use our offline mode to continue working”. There will be a Work offline link for you to choose to continue working offline, if needed.
   
2. Click the Work Offline link.
