Prepare To Work Offline
Before you can safely work on documents in Offline mode, you must first download them to your local workspace. The documents also need to be locked to prevent editing by others.
Note:
Application Integration must be in Online mode to prepare documents for working in Offline mode. You must have an active connection to the Meridian server to use PowerUser or an active connection to the Meridian web server to use PowerWeb. You must restart any authoring applications that use Meridian application links for the links to detect the correct mode.
Use these steps for PowerWeb.
