When you are working in low or no connectivity environments, you can use Offline Mode to access and update Jobs and Workflows.
When you have saved a Job Offline and switch illu into Offline Mode, you can view all components of a Job (Details page, attached Workflows, Activity Feed history, etc.). Note: Only Jobs that have been saved Offline will be visible in Offline Mode.

a) Pressing the Bookmark Button on the Job Schedule page
b) Toggling the Offline field at the bottom of the Job Details page
c) Pressing the Bookmark Button at the top right of the Job Details page
The Bookmark icon will change from outlined to fill and the Job(s) will begin to download in the background, allowing you to use the app as usual in the meantime
<aside> 📢 *Please allow at least sufficient time (to be safe, >1 hr) to download the Jobs before going Offline as it takes time for the data to fully download, especially for Jobs with a lot of workflows with photos.
To confirm that your Jobs have downloaded properly, you can switch to Offline Mode and check that the required content is available. We are working on adding a progress bar to show when downloading is complete.*
