Page 1 of 2 After some months, Google Gears has begun to make its way into Google Apps, beginning with the word processor. By caching code and data, Google Docs Offline allows existing word processing documents to be viewed and edited offline. A status indicator shows whether the application is running on or offline, or if the offline mechanism has failed for some reason. When the link is restored, any changes made are synchronised with the Google Docs servers the next time Google Docs is used on the same computer and browser. For security reasons, Google recommends that Docs Offline is not used with shared or public computers. The offline feature is being rolled out to Google Docs users over a period of weeks. An Offline link at the upper right corner of the Docs list indicates that a particular account has offline access. |
