Back to Tips & TricksExpand the accessibility of your digital binder:
We are excited to release a feature many of you have requested (thank you for telling us what you need!). This new feature – Download Binder – will provide you access to your binder(s) when you have poor or no internet connection. Download Binder will allow a Pro or qualified Organization plan members to download a copy of their binder that can be stored and viewed from their desktop.
What to expect from your download copy of your binder?
Your downloaded version will look and play exactly as your online version with the following exceptions:
- Websites added to your binder need an internet connection. They will not display in the offline version of your binder.
- The offline version of your binder cannot be edited.
- The Options menu at the top of your online binder will not be available in the downloaded version.
