When using the KWL Web App via a browser, there is an option to sync the content so you can access it uninterrupted even when you are not connected to the internet. To be able to use this feature, you need to be on a compatible browser and you should give permission to the Web App to sync content when it prompts you.

Note that content synchronization can take a few minutes depending on your internet connection speeds. Once a resource has completed synchronising, you should get a small tick icon next to the year level content name on the Home screen.

If the offline sync feature is not working for you, try the below steps to resolve the issue:

1. Ensure that you are using one of our recommended browsers to run the KWL Web App. To get a list of recommended browsers, check our devices FAQ above. If you are on an iPad make sure you always use the KWL iPad App which is optimised for iPads.
2. If you are using one of the recommended browsers and still do not have offline access, you may need to give the Web App permission to sync content. To do this, when you are logged in, click on the Menu button and then navigate to Settings -> Sync KWL Content for Offline Access. If the radio button is off, click on it. You will be prompted whether you want to enable syncing. Click on the “Start Syncing” button to start the sync.
