Objective

To sync and download documents from the Document Management tool on the Procore iOS app. 

Background

The first time that you open a document in the Procore iOS app, it will sync to your device so that it can be quickly accessed at any time, even while in offline mode. If you want to download the actual file to your device, you can use the "Save to Files" option. Currently, only documents without markup can be downloaded.  

Things to Consider

Steps

  1. Open the Procore app on an iOS mobile device.
  2. Tap the Document Management tool.
  3. The following actions are available:

Sync Documents

You can choose to sync specific documents to view in offline mode or you can sync all documents within a saved view

Sync a Document

  1. Tap on a saved view to open it.
    Note: Saved views are listed under the bolded collection names on the main screen of the Document Management tool. 
  2. Tap the download icon-download-cloud.png  icon next to the document you want to make available for offline use.  
    Note:  Opening the document by tapping on it is another way to sync the document for offline use. 
  3. The document automatically syncs to your device for offline use and its download icon-download-cloud.png icon changes to the ellipsis icon-ellipsis-options-menu3.png icon so that you can remove it from the device as needed.

Remove a Document

If you no longer need to access a certain document that's been synced, you can remove it from your device. This can free up space, but the document will need to sync again the next time you open it.

  2. Tap the ellipsis icon-ellipsis-options-menu3.png  icon. 
  3. Tap Remove from device
