# Syncing to work offline

### **What is syncing in RiskBase?**

'Syncing', in RiskBase, refers to backing up data from the app to the cloud, where everything is stored.

**Note:** it is recommended to sync the app before starting a job, regularly throughout completing it, and after the job is finished. This ensures that there is no risk of any data not being fully updated or lost.

An internet connection is required to create or download a property onto a device. From this point onwards, users are able to perform assessments offline.

### **Syncing in the app**

1. Create or download a property onto a device.

Once an offline assessment has been completed, and an internet connection is restored, assessors will need to synchonise by pressing the small green disc at the bottom right of the screen. This will upload all of the new assessment information.
