NOTE:

Atticus is designed to be used on any device that is convenient to you, but ideally only one device at one time. To ensure the best quality syncing between devices, we recommend you log out of one device, which will force sync everything to the cloud, and then log into your other device, where everything should be waiting for you!

3. Using Atticus Offline

With Atticus, you have the option online as well as  work offline, giving you complete freedom over where and when you’ll work on your book, even when you’re not connected to the internet.

While working offline, whether you prefer to use the app or browser version, Atticus will save to your local browser and as soon as you are back online it will automatically synch with the server and be reflected anywhere you use Atticus.

You will need to be connected to the internet to upload an existing document and/or export your book. Before going offline, make sure you are logged into Atticus on the device you’ll be working on.

NOTE:

While you’re offline, your work will automatically save to your local server. When you’re done, hit the Save button in the top right, next to the ? button, to force sync all your content and add an additional level of safety for your content.
