Mendeley Reference Manager: Known issues when working offline

We know that the ability to work offline is important to many of you and we are working to ensure you can do this seamlessly. However there are some aspects of functionality that are not yet available offline; these are listed below. Check back for details of when this will be available.

Check our release notes page for information on future releases.

Importing references via methods other than creating a manual entry are not available while offline.

Copying references with file attachments between your private library and different groups and then amending the file attachments from either the new references or the original will not sync correctly when going online. New references will mirror the original reference at the point of going online and any file amendments will be lost.

Creating both a collection and a manually added reference while offline, and then moving the new reference to the new collection without going online will cause the new reference to become corrupted.

When using the features within the group management functionality you will notice that some options are disabled, this is to prevent any issues occurring for other members in the group.
