Accordance Enthusiast Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Is there any way to do this? The ONLINE help files take very long to load in the accordance app, But the old OFLINE files load in an instant. I want to download the new files and use them OFLINE. Is this possible? Shalom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristin Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Hi @Accordance Enthusiast, I just wanted to mention that you can print it to a PDF. If you open the help window it opens in that funny little Accordance browser, and there is nothing you can do there. However, if you copy the link and paste it in another browser (I used Firefox) you can just print the page which will allow you to download it as a PDF. I hope this helps, Kristin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Parker Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Help has moved online. There is a way to access online help in a web browser then save the help files offline. Here’s one article I found that might offer some help: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/download-a-web-page-or-article-to-read-offline We’re discussing the possibility of re-offering an offline help option or at least the ability to download a copy of the help files offline. No definite answer on this yet, but if this is something you’re interested in, let us know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a very basic pdf which was used for training up to about version 12 and while it just covered the basics, it was very well structured and would certainly welcome an updated something like that. I found i kept referring to it a) when i first started using accordance and b) when my ram lost the plot after it had been cleared by a few nights sleep and i needed a quick organised place to look something up. The problem i find with the help on line is that its in such bite sized pieces that i get fed up clicking on a page and then clicking on another and then having to go back and click on an earlier page. Great for searching for something specific but then reading two or three pages gets tedious. I still have a copy downloaded and still refer to it though it doesnt include the latest features. I like manuals!!!!!! Edited February 4 by ukfraser 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solly Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I certainly prefer a bound organization of knowledge even as a pdf for the reasons Fraser stated above. I know a wiki style of information is easier to maintain, but it is much more difficult for me to integrate the information from a wiki. I guess I prefer reading a narrative compared to reading a dictionary or phone directory. —Joseph 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erhard Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I would also prefer to have manuals and help on the computer, rather than having to depend on the internet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Parker Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think we moved the PDF Manual into a “Getting Stated with Accordance” module. If some of you don’t have it, let me know. Some of the screenshots need to be updated in it. I’m not sure all of the content of the PDF manual is in there as well. This might be a project where when I come on full-time, I can update/flesh out the content in the module and hand if off to our module developers to release (unless I want to take a try at developing a module for Accordance).
