Working offline
Haystack is built to keep working when your connection drops. You can carry on adding scenes, logging changes, writing wear notes and editing details with no signal, and your work syncs up the moment you reconnect.
This matters most on set, where mobile coverage can be patchy. The mobile app holds your synced project on the device, so a dead spot does not stop you logging continuity in the moment.
How your changes sync
When you save offline, the change is stored on your device straight away and queued to sync. Once you are back online it sends to the cloud and reaches everyone else on the project. On the web app, saving shows a pending state and then confirms once the change has synced, so you can see when your edit is safely up.
Keep the app open and reconnect before the end of the day so anything logged offline has a chance to sync. Photos in particular can be large, so they may take a little longer to upload than text.
Before you head out
Open the project you need while you still have signal so it is downloaded and ready. For more on choosing and syncing a project on mobile, see Selecting your project and department.
