Using Asana offline

You can use Asana for Android offline to check your notifications, comment on tasks and messages, change due dates or assignees, and complete tasks on the go.

Use Asana offline to:

  • Create tasks, messages, or projects
  • Assign tasks
  • Set due dates
  • Add or remove collaborators
  • Add or remove tags
  • Add or remove tasks from projects
  • Complete tasks
  • Delete tasks

Offline android

When you create a task or add a comment offline, changes will sync when you are next online, and the updated tasks, projects, and conversations will be visible to teammates with the relevant permissions.

A tally at the bottom of the app counts the actions you’ve performed offline. When you're online again, the pending number will count down until all your updates are live in Asana.

Tasks and conversations within a project that have never been opened on your app before will not be visible offline, but you can add tasks to these projects offline.
