Offline access caches documents locally for use without connectivity, synchronizing modifications on reconnection. Conflict resolution handles simultaneous edits from multiple sources.
Cached content persists on the device until removed.
Alternative Names:
Offline Mode, Local Sync
Why it Matters?
Trial and travel are the use cases that require it, since courthouse connectivity is unreliable and a trial team cannot depend on network access. The security cost is local document caching, which means a lost laptop holds matter content rather than only credentials. Full-disk encryption and remote wipe are the compensating controls, and cache expiration limits how long content persists after a matter concludes.
