How to enable templates for Offline

With the Offline templates module, admins have ability to make up to 5 templates, per template library, per space available for offline use. To enable a template for Offline: 

1. Go into the documents, presentations or spreadsheets library.
2. Select a template. 
3. Navigate to the settings tab. 
4. Enable the Make this template presentation/ document/ spreadsheet available offline checkbox on the desired templates. 
5. Click save. 

How to disable templates for Offline

1. Go into the documents, presentations or spreadsheets library.
2. Select the template you wish to disable for Offline. 
3. Navigate to the settings tab. 
4. Unselect the Make this template presentation/ document/ spreadsheet available offline checkbox on the desired template.  
5. Click save. 

How are Offline templates updated?

Templates which have been made available offline are locally stored on the user's machine. If new templates are made available or admin edits are made to existing Offline templates, they will be synchronized with the Templafy Desktop update mechanism. 

What happens if I make edits to templates enabled for offline? 

If edits are made to the template itself, Templafy will trigger a redownload of the template with the next Templafy Desktop update cycle. Examples of updates on a template level include activating or deactivating it for offline availability or downloading and replacing the document. Edits to template details such as the template name, location or space, will become visible with the next Templafy Desktop update. For detail changes, the template itself will not be redownloaded.

Why can't my template be made available offline? 

There are multiple cases in which a template cannot be made available offline:

• The limit of 5 offline templates for the template library has been reached.
• The template is being processed/ generating previews/ validating or failed processing. 
• The template contains unsupported dynamic components.
