Saved collections offline
What saved startup can show and when a connection is required.
Visit the app online first so this device can save its app files and collection data. Saved collections can then reopen in Binder, List, Slabs and Inventory from this device, read-only, with the app showing what was last saved on this device. Pending changes stay on this device until syncing succeeds.
Account and saved state
Saved startup, including on dead Wi-Fi that still reports online, needs the same unexpired account session on this device and the saved collection-owner scope. Shared collections also need the saved partner access for that account and owner. This only allows the saved copy to be shown. It does not prove current membership or that pending changes reached the server.
New binders, layout editing, grading and other edits are unavailable during saved startup. While the initial account and membership checks are waiting, the app can show the saved view read-only and keep those checks running, then switches to current data once access resolves. Changing account or partner closes the previous private view and its dialogs. Pending edits stay in their original device record.
Once the app is running online, edits made after the connection drops are kept on this device and the app says they will sync when you are back online. If a refresh fails, the app keeps saved copies and pending changes and shows what was last saved. Open Storage (the box button beside the collection picker) and choose Refresh after reconnecting. Missing, corrupt or expired account or saved data requires a connection; the app never shows an empty collection in its place or deletes pending edits. A first-ever offline visit cannot open an app whose files were never cached.
First collection
New accounts get a default binder automatically. To add another, open Storage and choose New binder, which needs a connection and no unsynced changes.
Startup and presentation preferences live on this device and add no REST or MCP operation. API keys and MCP access are separate from browser account checks.
