Using Contribute to work offline

Contribute gives you the freedom to edit web pages without a network connection. Using the
work offline feature of Contribute, you can work on an airplane, at home, or anywhere.
While you are working offline, you can edit drafts, but you cannot use the Contribute browser.
Contribute remains offline—even if you establish a network connection—until you switch to
working online.
To use Contribute to work offline:
•
If Contribute is running and has a network connection, select File > Work Offline (Windows)
or Contribute > Work Offline (Macintosh).
•
If Contribute is not running, start Contribute without a network connection; select Work
Offline in the Connection Failure dialog box, and then click OK.
The Contribute browser displays the Working Offline page. Click a draft title in the Pages panel
to start editing.
Switching between working online and working offline
If you start Contribute offline without a server connection, or switch to working offline during an
online Contribute session, then you can switch to working online whenever you establish a server
connection.
Note: Contribute does not reestablish the connection to your web server. You must connect to the
server before you switch to working online in Contribute.
To switch from working online to working offline:
•
Select File > Work Offline (Windows) or Contribute > Work Offline (Macintosh).
Switching to working offline does not disconnect your network connection.
