Work offline in Studio

Applies to:

  • Revu 21
  • Revu 20

You can work with Studio Project and Session files in Revu without an internet connection. Designate the files you need to access while offline, and any edits you make will automatically synced to your Project or Session when you reconnect.

You Revu 21 subscription plan won’t allow you to work offline indefinitely. You must log in to reauthenticate your account after being offline for 14 consecutive days. For more information, see Access Your Revu 21 Subscription Offline.

Studio Projects

Prepare to work offline

  1. Open the Studio panel, and open your Studio Project.
  2. To designate the files you want to work with, hover over a file or folder and select Set to Sync on the right. The icon will become solid green to indicate the file or folder is ready to sync. Files that haven’t been marked as set to sync are not available when you work offline.
    If a folder is set to sync, all subfolders and files within it will sync as well.
  3. Right-click the top-level Project name in the Project tab, and select Sync to create locally cached copies of the files. The folder is in the Project tab with an Invite icon to the right.
  4. To check out the files you'll need while working offline, right-click the file, and select Check Out.
    Checking out the files prevents others from making changes to them. When you check out a file, it's added to the Pending section at the bottom of the Studio panel.
  5. To begin working offline, select Connected at the top of the Studio panel.
  6. In the confirmation dialog, select OK.

Upload your changes when you are back online

While working offline, edit and save the document as you normally would.

Avoid using the Save As or Export options because they create a new version of the document, and any changes you make won’t be synced with the version in the Project.

When you reconnect to the internet, you can sync your files to the Studio Project.

  1. Select Offline at the top of the Studio panel.
  2. Right-click the documents in the Pending list, and select Check In.
  3. Add any revision comments, and select Check In.

Studio Sessions

Open files before going offline

When you upload files to a Studio Session, Revu stores them in the cloud. To open the most recent version of a Session file, you need an internet connection. Before going offline, connect to a Studio Session and open the files you plan to work with offline. The files are automatically downloaded and cached in the Session, which ensures that you have the most recent versions of your documents.

Work offline

After opening your files, you can go offline and work as you normally would. Any markups you make to your Session document are preserved and automatically synced with the Session once you reconnect to the internet.

Markups made while offline display a Pending Upload icon and are listed in the Pending tab at the bottom of the Studio panel.

Any changes made to a Session file while offline are entered into the Session Record with timestamps corresponding to the time they were uploaded to the Session (such as when you reconnect to the internet). However, the Creation Date column in the Markups List will reflect the actual date and time of creation.
