Introducing True Offline in Writer

With True Offline, you can now continue to work smoothly even when your connection is suddenly disrupted.

We know it can be difficult to always plan your day ahead. For example, we rarely know in advance when our internet will go out, or how long we’ll be disconnected. Say you’re almost done working on a killer resume. You can’t wait to send it out and get that dream job, but oops, you also can’t believe your internet is suddenly down.

That’s why we’re taking Writer’s offline mode up a notch. With True Offline, you can now work on your current document uninterrupted in both the web and mobile versions, even with those sudden connection losses. The best part? You don’t need to do any manual setup.

Here’s how it works:

The magic switch

The second you lose connection, Writer will automatically enable offline mode for any document you’re currently working on. This means you can continue to type, edit, and perform other basic functionalities until your connection is restored.

You edit, we save   

While in offline mode, you can keep working and Writer will automatically save everything, and then sync all of your changes once your connection is restored.

All the tools you need to create and edit documents—like Format, Style, Font options, and more will be available offline as well. In short, it will feel like you never really lost connection in the first place.  

 And we’ll take care of the rest 

Wouldn’t it be ideal to have offline mode enabled for your documents? Absolutely, and you don’t have to lift a finger to do it. Once your connection is restored, Writer will smartly keep 20 of your most recent documents available offline at all times.

So the next time you want to work anywhere with no internet connection, you can do so without interruption because you’ll already have offline mode enabled for the documents you need.

That’s all for now. Let us know what you think of this update in the comments below.

Happy writing!
