# Writing Offline on Authorea


### Offline work

Authorea allows researchers to write online as well as offline.  We are working on a full-fledged offline application for Windows, Mac, and Linux. 

For the time being, to use Authorea offline, make sure you have first opened in your browser an Authorea document while online. 

You can then turn off your internet connection during travel or for whatever reason and continue editing, offline.  Your edits will be saved and synced once you come back online.  

Please note that some functionality, like automatic citations, rely upon an internet connection and it is best to add them while online.
