Work offline and sync later

Uses

• Sync and offline
• Storage and privacy
• Real-time collaboration

Prerequisites

• Open the project before you go offline.
• Ensure local edits are possible in your current project state/backing (for example private browser-backed, private folder-backed, or published with local copy).

Steps

1. Check your current sync/collaboration status before disconnecting.
2. Continue editing while offline.
3. In shared projects, watch for Connecting/Offline status changes in the collaboration indicator.
4. Avoid risky refactors until connection recovers.
5. Reconnect and wait for sync to return to a healthy state.
6. Reopen key files and confirm your local changes are still present.
7. Review comments/version surfaces to confirm remote state has caught up.

Verification

• Local edits remain after reconnect.
• Collaboration/sync status returns to healthy.
• Shared metadata surfaces (comments/history) repopulate after reconnection.

If Something Goes Wrong

• Edits appear local-only after reconnect
• Wait for sync to settle, then refresh affected files and check Sync and offline.
• Collaboration remains disconnected
• Reopen the project and verify membership/role status in Real-time collaboration.
• Storage behavior is confusing after reconnect
• Confirm whether the workspace is private browser-backed, private folder-backed, or published in Storage and privacy.
