01
How offline changes work
When the server is unreachable, new cards, moves, comments, and due dates wait in a queue on the device. Deckloud sends them in order once the connection returns. Boards you opened while online stay readable.
02
The states you will see
On iPhone, under Settings, Sync & recovery.
Waiting to sync.
Edits are saved on the device and wait for the server.
Last sync.
When Deckloud last reached your server, so you know how fresh the board is.
Sync now.
Sends the queue at once, for example right after your VPN reconnects.
A change that didn't sync.
If the server rejects one change, such as an edit to a deleted card, only that change waits, with Retry and Discard.
03
What happens on conflicts
Deck works card by card, so edits to different cards never conflict. When Nextcloud and your device changed the same thing, you pick Use server or Keep mine. Nothing is overwritten silently.
04
If recovery seems stuck
Check that Safari reaches the server on the same connection, then tap Sync now. For a bug report, use Settings, Diagnostics, Export diagnostics: it holds sync details, never board content.
FAQ
Practical questions
Can I lose edits made offline?
No. Queued edits stay on the device until they sync or you discard them, even if you force-quit the app.
How long can I stay offline?
As long as you like. The queue syncs whenever the server is next reachable, minutes or days later.
Do offline edits work on the desktop too?
Yes. The desktop app for Mac, Windows, and Linux queues changes the same way.
