Offline Caching

Offline caching stores encrypted copies of secrets, folders, and their associated data on your mobile device. You can access cached content when an internet connection is unavailable. Your administrator sets the maximum time you can access cached content offline.

See Setting Maximum Time for Mobile Offline Caching.

The cache updates automatically when you open the app with internet access and clears whenever the max offline time limit is reached or when you manually remove the cached information.

An administrator must grant you the 'Access Offline Secrets on Mobile' permission before you can download secrets. See Access Offline Secrets on Mobile.
