Offline modeling

The Teamwork Cloud server supports the offline modeling providing an ability:

• To work with the project (read/edit) when a connection to the server is not available.
• To save intermediate changes locally (privately), and commit changes to the server when it is required.
• To save time by saving changes locally, as this it is much faster than committing directly to the server.

In the offline project, you can:

• Edit elements that are locked by a current user.
• Edit element symbols of elements  that are locked by a current user.
• Create new elements/diagrams in the model.
• Review a project structure (used projects), project options and styles.
• Save changes locally.
• Use a local project (if permissions allow).

When the connection is established, you are able to commit and/or update project changes and lock/unlock project elements.

You  should save the online project locally to make it an offline project.

To save an online project locally

1. Open a server project.
2. From the main menu, select one of the following:

• • Collaborate > Saves Changes Locally.
  • File > Save.

The project is saved to the user home directory. Pay attention, this is not a local copy of a server project!  All user locks are permissions are saved within the project, so offline project can be committed to the server later.
