Working offline and syncing

EssayGenius is built to keep working when your connection drops. The practical model is simple: your browser keeps a local copy of the essay, and signed-in accounts can sync a copy to the cloud when the network is available again.

What happens when you go offline

You can keep writing on the current device. The app shows an offline banner so you know changes are staying local for the moment instead of being pushed immediately.

What sync does when you reconnect

When connectivity returns, queued changes can sync again for signed-in accounts. The small sync indicators in the app help you see whether content is synced, pending, offline, or blocked by an error.

• Local work remains available on the same device even before cloud sync resumes
• Signed-in syncing is what makes the essay reappear on another device
• Sync indicators matter most when you are moving between devices or about to close the browser

What offline mode does not guarantee

Offline support does not protect you from clearing browser data, switching to a different browser profile, or expecting an unsynced local draft to appear on another device. Those are separate concerns from local availability.
