Downloaded Issues - Online VS Offline

The Desktop Library App gives you the ability to download your issue for viewing, even when you do not have an internet connection.  Please note however that some features are only viewable if an internet connection is present.

• When you are connected to the internet, you can view all content and features within each issue, including links, rich media embeds and widgets. 
• When you are not connected to the internet, some features may not function such as links and page widgets because they require an internet connection to load.  Embedded Rich Media files like video and audio are downloaded along with the issue package and are viewable without an internet connection
