Glide apps are pretty cool because they can work offline. To make sure your app can do this:

1. Open your Glide app.
2. Head over to the app settings.
3. Check that the app is set to work offline. This way, users can still use parts of the app even without internet.

To keep some data available offline:

1. Organize your data in Google Sheets or Glide tables neatly.
2. Mark the important data that needs to be synced to the device for offline use.
3. Try to avoid using data that updates all the time, as it might not be available offline.

Think about offline use when designing the app:

1. Make sure users can do important things, like viewing previously loaded data, even when offline.
2. Add sync indicators to let users know when data is syncing or waiting to sync.

Some Glide components work better offline:

1. Use components like Text, Image (preloaded), and basic data displays.
2. Avoid components that need to fetch data dynamically, like Maps or live data fetching.

Cache important data:

1. Access important data frequently in the app to make sure it’s cached locally.
2. Think about "pre-loading" essential data by accessing it when you have internet, so it’s available offline later.

Test the app thoroughly in offline mode:

1. Turn off internet access on your device.
2. Navigate through the app to check if offline data is available and usable.
3. Find any issues and tweak the design or settings as needed.

Help users understand offline usage:

1. Add tips in the app’s help section about how to use the app offline.
2. Let users know what features work offline and what needs an internet connection.

Keep offline data up-to-date:

1. Regularly check the app to make sure offline data is current.
2. Update or change data as needed, ensuring a smooth transition between offline and online states.

Keep users informed about sync statuses:

1. Turn on notifications or visual cues in the app to let users know when data is syncing or waiting to sync.
2. This helps users understand the state of data availability and syncing processes.
