## When to read this
You expect weak or no connectivity (basements, roaming, crowded venues) and want to know what still works.

## What works offline
- **Read help articles:** The Help Center stays available once it has loaded at least once.
- **Use the camera:** You can still capture and review photos.
- **Already loaded views:** Screens you opened remain visible while the app stays open.

## Resume uploads
1. **Reconnect.** Open the app and stay in the event briefly.
2. **Retry the upload.** If an upload failed, tap *Upload* again.
3. **Check status.** The bell menu shows pending review counts or local queue activity.

## Limits & notes
- **No live refresh offline.** Gallery and tasks update only once you’re back online.
- **Offline restart:** If you reload while offline, some content may not be available.
- **Clearing cache removes offline data.** Local copies and queued uploads are deleted when you clear cache.

### Need more help?
See `upload-troubleshooting` for specific errors or `settings-and-cache` for cache details.
