Offline downloads

Choose what this device keeps, so students, registers, exams and more open with no connection, even ones you never opened before.

Updated November 7, 2026

Without downloads, a page offline shows only the records you've already looked at on this device. With them, the whole list is there.

Choosing what to keep

Open Settings → Offline.
Turn on what you need. Depending on your role you'll see: Students and guardians, Attendance registers, Homework and textbooks, CBT exams with their questions, the Question Bank, this term's gradebook and, if you handle fees, this term's school fees.
Each one shows how much data it takes to download and how much space it uses on the device.

Your school's profile and settings come with them, and so do the staff list and roles if you manage staff. You only get what your role lets you see. Health details and religion are never downloaded.

Attendance: 4 weeks or the whole term

Attendance registers keep the last 4 weeks your school took registers. Choose The whole term under the switch if you need to look further back offline and the device has space. A whole term for a big school is about three times the size, so on a limited data plan keep the 4 weeks.

With 4 weeks kept, a class's View Report offline says showing the last 4 weeks only, and Download CSV waits for a connection, so you never send part of a term as the full report.

Keeping them up to date

Automatically: updates on Wi-Fi or a strong signal.
Only when I tap Update now: for a limited data plan. The screen says when an update is waiting.

Each download shows when it was last updated.

Seeing what's available offline

Tap the Help button. While you're offline, the panel lists the downloads you can use now. While you're online, it says whether the device is ready for offline and links to Settings → Offline.

Signing out

Your downloads are removed when you sign out, so the next person on a shared computer can't see them. They download again after you sign back in. See Working without internet.
