In situations where a stable internet connection might not be readily available, you can download projects in advance and work offline using our docu tools app.
Make sure you have a stable internet connection at home or the office for the download process. Please refer to the guidelines to ensure a seamless experience with data sync.
NOTE: Depending on project size, internet quality, and the device capacity the download might take a bit longer to finish, so please do not close the app until the process is finished as that might cause errors and incomplete data download. For larger projects, it's a good strategy to start the download overnight.
