How Offline Mode Works

What happens when you go offline?

  1. Automatic Detection: The app detects when you're offline and switches to offline mode

  2. Local Storage: Photos and inventory data are saved on your device

  3. Automatic Upload: When you reconnect, everything uploads automatically in the background

  4. Visual Indicators: You'll see cloud-off icons indicating offline status
