The Teamwork Cloud server supports offline modeling by allowing you to:
Work with the project (read/edit) when a connection to the server is not available.
Save intermediate changes locally (privately), and commit changes to the server when required.
Save time by saving changes locally, which is much faster than committing directly to the server.
In an offline project, you can:
Edit elements locked by a current user.
Edit element symbols of elements 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 a connection is established, you can commit and/or update project changes, and lock or unlock project elements.
