# Offline Functionality

if you already have StoryKeeper open and are logged in...

* you can create/edit/delete stories whilst offline and they will [sync](https://docs.wayfinders.network/apps-and-tools/storykeeper/syncing-between-devices) when you come back online\*\*. However...
* you CANNOT (re)load the StoryKeeper app or login whilst you are offline - it must already be open and logged in
* you CANNOT upload media, although you can edit existing media, such as changing the name or viewing rights

\*\* at times StoryKeeper will not automatically sync when coming back online, and will require a refresh/reload. There is also a [known issue related to this](https://docs.wayfinders.network/apps-and-tools/known-issues#syncing-storykeeper-after-being-offline)
