Offline sync on mobile devices

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.

Downloading data

On the tablet, there are 2 options to download data for offline use: downloading a whole project or single plans. On a smartphone, you can only download single plans.

Download a whole project on the tablet: - Click the cloud icon next to the project in the project list. - A notification will indicate the required storage space on your device. - Click Download to proceed.

Download single plans on tablet and smartphone: - Tablet: Open a project and lick the cloud icon for the plan you wish to download. - Smartphone: Open a project and swipe left on the plan you want to download. - If the plan is less than 100 MB in size, the download will start right away. - If the plan is larger than 100 MB, you will see a notification indicating the free local storage. - Click on Sync and the plan will again be added to the queue. - You can add multiple plans to the download queue. - You will receive a notification once a plan from the ques was successfully downloaded.

Sync view

On the tablet, there is an additional cloud icon in the top menu bar for the sync view menu.
On the smartphone, the sync view icon is located in the tab bar.
In the sync view, you can see all downloaded projects or plans and start syncing them simultaneously.
Syncing uploads your offline changes and downloads any new data from other users.

NOTE: Always sync projects with a stable internet connection before starting to work offline to ensure you have the latest data.

Upload offline data

After working offline, sync the projects again as soon as you have a stable internet connection to upload the data to the web app.
Use the sync button in the sync view or individual project/plan buttons to start the sync.
During the sync, the app will upload your changes and download any new data from other users.

NOTE: Keep the app open during the sync process to prevent errors and ensure consistent data upload.
