Offline support is more than displaying cached screens. The application must explain which information is current and what happens to changes made without a connection.

The decision to make

Decide which tasks can safely continue offline. Operations involving shared availability or payment may require an online check before confirmation.

Practical checklist

  • Label cached information and pending changes.
  • Define conflict handling when records change elsewhere.
  • Test reconnecting after a partially completed task.

An illustrative example

A field note can be queued for upload, while a limited booking slot may not be safely confirmed offline. Treat those operations differently.

Your next step

Document the rules for saving, synchronising and resolving conflicts before implementing offline features.
