You asked. We’re delivering. Writer can now work internet-free, so you can take your laptops to places without connectivity—like a running train or a long flight—and continue writing uninterrupted.

From creating documents to storing or sharing them, Writer was designed to be your powerful word processor on the cloud. However, we’re aware that it’s sometimes difficult to stay connected all the time—looking for a stable public Wi-Fi can be a hassle when you’re just trying to get work done.

We’ve been hard at work bringing you the same amazing Writer experience offline, and today, we’re delighted to show you what we’ve come up with. Writer now lets you create, edit, and save documents offline, across all your devices!

How it works

The flow is pretty straight-forward. Writer switches to an offline mode as soon as it detects connectivity loss. You can continue editing and creating documents, or even close the tabs when you’re done—Writer saves everything automatically. Once you’re reconnected, all that work you did offline syncs to your account in a snap!

Setting it up—as easy as it gets

On the web version, all you have to do is to enable Writer Offline from the. Twenty of your most recent documents will be taken offline straight away, ²¹²Ô»åÌýnew documents you create will follow suit. Writer’s  ²¹²Ô»åÌý apps skip this setup process completely, as they come offline-enabled out of the box.

Apart from your recent documents, individual documents can be taken offline as well. And if you haven’t noticed already, Writer Offline works with all major browsers—not just Google Chrome!

We’re also rolling out Writer Offline for ×îв©²ÊÍøÕ¾ Sync soon. This will let users access and edit their Writer documents (.zdoc) offline, directly from the Finder/Explorer.

That’s all for now. We truly believe this update makes Writer the perfect writing companion you can take with you wherever you go. Imagine how much work you can get done during those crazy-long flights!
