# Being able to use an Excel file offline

## Discover the freedom of working offline. Learn how to make your Excel file available offline.

When an Excel file (connector) is linked to a form, you can make that this data is also available when the user has no active internet connection (with the app).

1. Go to [Incontrol's web environment](https://portal.incontrol.app).  
   *If you have your "own domain" in our product, go to this url (endpoint). If you are using another brand that Maxd'Oro offers, check out:* 
     1. [Inspect4All](https://portal.inspect4all.com/?__hstc=81977673.18f674cdd63702d04627b5f78b88942c.1687363576023.1711119637419.1711121688386.595&__hssc=81977673.19.1711121688386&__hsfp=2025819029)
     2. [Dé Opleverapp](https://portal.deopleverapp.nl/?__hstc=81977673.18f674cdd63702d04627b5f78b88942c.1687363576023.1711119637419.1711121688386.595&__hssc=81977673.19.1711121688386&__hsfp=2025819029)

1. Log in, as an organization administrator, with your login credentials.
2. Navigate to the 'Organization' section.
3. Go to 'Connectors' and create a new one.  
   *Read the article "[Upload an Excel file](https://helpcenter.getincontrol.eu/en/from-builder/excel/uploading-an-excel-file)" *
4. Under the "Settings" section, make sure the "Store the data on mobile devices for when there is no internet " checkbox is checked. The app will then save the complete content locally, so it can be searched regardless of an active connection.  
   ![Make the content in the Excel sheet available by selecting the correct checkbox in the settings segment](https://helpcenter.incontrol.app/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/Gegevens%20uit%20een%20Excel%20bestand%20importeren/connector_setting_shared-offline_EN.png?width=655&height=117&name=connector_setting_shared-offline_EN.png)

This functionality is currently only available to users with the iOS app. Linked Google Drive sheets or Microsoft OneDrive Excel files cannot be used offline.
