Make edits offline

Before going offline, open the documents you want to edit. You will not be able to access your documents list or open new or existing documents while offline.

When working offline, your browser stores the changes you make. When you reconnect to the internet, your browser’s cache syncs with Lucid and saves the changes you made while offline. You can verify changes have been saved by checking the saved status at the top of the editor.

Note: Leave your document and browser open until you are reconnected to the internet, even if you are done making changes. Otherwise, your edits will not be saved.
