* **Use Offline Mode Carefully**: Cached editing works for many workflows, but sign-in, email, script import, AI, public attendance links, and uncached files require network access
* **Share Early**: Invite collaborators to get real-time updates
* **Print Often**: Generate professional reports for your team
