Does Scriptation work offline without a Wifi or Data connection?
Scriptation is built for both studio and location production and there may be times when internet access isn't available. Scriptation is fully functional without WiFi or a data connection; there are two different scenarios for offline work, depending on how you store your files.
- Local Files
If files are stored On my iPad / iPhone, they are local to your device. Internet access isn't necessary for you to be able to work on these files.
- Online Files
Every time you open a script from one of the Cloud providers in Scriptation, a local copy is also saved to your device. As you make annotations, they're saved locally.
You always know when a file is saved locally because the cloud icon turns into a preview image of your PDF.
Any time your device is offline, you'll see the "No internet connection" message in the Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive folders.
Once your device is back online, Scriptation will automatically upload to the cloud the most recent version of any edited files.
