Working with offline documents

To be able to work with M365 documents when you are offline, the documents must be synced to your computer while you are still online.

harmon.ie uses OneDrive for Business sync client to synchronize the documents to your computer.

Make sure OneDrive for Business sync client is installed on your machine.

To work when you are offline:

OneDrive allows syncing SharePoint documents, folders, document libraries, and Teams locations from Microsoft 365 only.

When you are offline you can:

• Browse through the documents of an offline location.
• Select a SharePoint view of your offline location.
• View and edit documents.
• View document properties.
• Mark emails to be migrated to M365 when you’re back online.

Note: To use OneDrive sync client with SharePoint 2019 on-premises, follow the directions in Configure syncing with the new OneDrive sync client.

To make a SharePoint library or Teams location available offline:

There are two methods to make a SharePoint library or Teams location available offline:

• Save the location as a favorite and check the Make this favorite available offline option.
• Right-click the location and select Sync Current Library icon (), and then click Sync Now.

To view synced locations offline:

1. Open All Locations.
2. Expand SharePoint > SharePoint (local files).

2. Select Stop syncing a folder.
3. Select the folder and click Stop syncing.
