Note: your browser may delete DevDocs's offline data if your computer is running low on disk space and you haven't used the app in a while. Load this page before going offline to make sure the data is still there.
Questions & Answers
How does this work?
Each page is cached as a key-value pair in IndexedDB (downloaded from a single file).
The app also uses Service Workers and localStorage to cache the assets and index files.
Can I close the tab/browser?
${canICloseTheTab()}
What if I don't update a documentation?
You'll see outdated content and some pages will be missing or broken, because the rest of the app (including data for the search and sidebar) uses a different caching mechanism that's updated automatically.
