Clear, practical guides for writing, compiling, and sharing LaTeX and Typst projects.
Work offline
Keep writing without a connection, keep whole projects in this browser, and sync safely when you are back.
What is kept automatically
A project you open while connected is kept in this browser, so losing the connection does not stop you from writing.
How to do it
- Open a project at least once while you are connected; that is what makes it available later.
- If the connection drops while you write, the save dot at the left end of the status bar changes, and pointing at it says you are working offline. Keep editing: your edits are kept in this browser and uploaded when the server can be reached again.
- If the server cannot be reached when you open the Projects page, it lists the projects this browser has kept under Available offline.
- Open one of them and continue working.
Keep a whole project available offline
Keep available offline fetches the project's files ahead of time, and fetches them again each time you open the project while connected.
How to do it
- Open the project, open the project menu in the title bar and choose Keep available offline.
- Wait while the notice counts the files being kept, until it says the project is available offline in this browser.
- Turn it on before you travel, while you still have a connection.
- Choose Keep available offline again to turn it off; the files are no longer updated for offline use.
Reconnecting and logging out
Edits made offline are uploaded when the server is reachable again; the one thing that discards them is logging out first.
How to do it
- Reconnect and leave the project open until pointing at the save dot in the status bar says Saved.
- Anything that needs the server tells you so while you are offline, and your edits are kept in this browser meanwhile.
- If logging out shows Changes not uploaded yet, cancel, reconnect and let the projects sync. Log out anyway deletes those changes from this browser.
- If a notice says this browser's copy could not be merged and was kept aside, choose Download this browser's copy to save your version; the editor now shows the server's version.
- If a notice says your changes are larger than the server can receive at once, download a copy to keep them safe.
