A new Goblin Lab update has made the notebook a Progressive Web App (PWA)! What does that mean? A couple of things…

Firstly, on supporting browsers* you can now install the notebook which lets you open it like an app, with a shortcut on your desktop, home screen, or app drawer and having it run in its own window outside the browser.

And secondly, the notebook, whether using a browser or installed app, now has a read-only mode when offline to allow you access to your campaign data.

If you know you need to view data when you won’t have a connection, or just want a local copy in case you lose connection, then you can enable this feature to keep a copy ready to view at all times.

Offline mode needs to be enabled per campaign and per browser, and is currently configured in the lab section of the campaign preferences.

* Different browsers have varying support for PWAs and their features. While all major browsers support the offline features, Firefox and Safari may not offer the option to install.

Please note that this is currently a Goblin Lab feature which means it may experience changes in the coming weeks!
