Routlets automatically manages a local copy of a router configuration. If at any time a connection to the router is unavailable, the last local copy will be shown to view and edit in the normal way. This enables Routlets to be used in an 'out of office' mode.

Changes made while offline are kept, to be saved back to the router once a connection is available. If there have also been changes made on the router, the compare viewer is shown to highlight (and resolve) these differences.

Also, the configuration file from a router can be saved to the local file system, and edited from there. This can be used as a longer term offline option or for reference or training purposes. Again, the offline file can be edited in the normal way, for example content assist and keyword highlighting are still available.
