Follow

 

This article covers how to edit files while you're offline. Once you have installed Huddle Desktop you'll be able to open files from your bookmarks list while offline, make your changes and then have your modifications sync right back to Huddle as soon as you are connected to the internet again. 

To edit files offline follow the steps below:

I) Bookmark and lock your files while you have an internet connection

II) Edit your file offline

I) Bookmark and lock your files while you have an internet connection

 

First of all you'll need to make sure that you have bookmarked and locked all the files you're planning to work on offline. 

The files need to be bookmarked so you can open them offline with Huddle Desktop and they need to be locked so you know you won't get any version clashes when your changes sync back to Huddle. 

 

a) Before you leave where you are working and while you still have an internet connection, bookmark and lock the file you want to edit later.  

b) Find the file you want to edit offline.

c) Click the file's title

d) On the preview page, click the Bookmark icon next to the file title or the Bookmark button in the actions panel.
