Overview
Offline Playlists allow you to download an entire Walnut Playlist, including its demos and supported media, so you can present without relying on an internet connection.
This feature extends Walnut’s existing Offline Demo capability to the playlist level. Instead of downloading demos individually, presenters can prepare a full demo journey ahead of time and confidently deliver it anywhere.
Offline Playlists are especially valuable for conferences, trade shows, field meetings, and customer environments where connectivity may be unreliable or restricted.
Download your full demo flow before the event so you can present smoothly even when WiFi is slow, unstable, or unavailable.
Present Confidently Anywhere
Great demo conversations do not always happen in perfect network conditions. Conferences, trade shows, and customer environments often have slow, overloaded, or restricted WiFi.
Offline Playlists let you download your full demo journey ahead of time so you can present with confidence, no matter where the conversation happens.
Instead of worrying about connectivity, you can focus on guiding prospects through the story, navigating between demos smoothly, and delivering a polished experience from start to finish.
Offline Playlists are especially helpful when presenting in environments such as:
- Conference booths where venue WiFi is overloaded
- Trade shows and events where network reliability is unpredictable
- Customer offices with strict security or firewall restrictions
- Travel and on-site meetings where internet access may not be available
- Live presentations where having a reliable backup demo flow is essential
How to Download a Playlist for Offline Use (Coming Soon)
Any user with access to a Playlist can download it for offline viewing.
- Open the Playlist you want to present.
- Select Download for Offline.
- Confirm the download.
- The Playlist and its supported assets will be stored locally on your device.
Once downloaded, you can open the Playlist and present it exactly as you would online.
What the Offline Experience Looks Like
Offline Playlists are designed to behave just like the online version.
When downloaded, supported assets are stored locally so presenters can navigate through the Playlist normally without connectivity.
The offline experience includes:
- Full Playlist navigation between items
- Interactive demos that function exactly as captured
- Smooth transitions between demos
- Media files stored in the Walnut Media Library
- Presenter navigation and interaction
The goal is to maintain a seamless demo experience even when the device is not connected to the internet.
Supported Asset Types
| Asset Type | Offline Support | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Walnut Demos | Supported | Fully interactive and playable offline |
| Media Library Files | Supported | Images, PDFs, and videos stored in Walnut are available offline |
| External URLs | Limited | External links may not load without internet access |
| Embedded Content | Limited | Embeds that rely on external services may require internet access |
If a Playlist contains external links or embedded content that requires the internet, the system will display a warning before download so you can review the experience.
Sync and Versioning
Downloaded Playlists are frozen at the time they are downloaded.
- Offline versions do not automatically update
- If the online Playlist changes, the offline version remains unchanged
- Users can manually re-download the Playlist to access the latest version
This ensures that presenters always have a stable version of the demo flow when presenting offline.
Offline Analytics
Offline Playlist sessions are still tracked so engagement insights remain accurate.
While presenting offline:
- Interaction events are stored locally
- Once the device reconnects to the internet, events automatically sync
- Analytics are then sent to Walnut Insights and supporting analytics systems
This ensures that engagement data is preserved even when presentations occur offline.
Best Practices
- Download your Playlist before arriving at the event.
- Test the Playlist once in offline mode before presenting.
- Use media stored in the Walnut Media Library when possible.
- Avoid relying on external URLs for critical presentation content.
- Re-download the Playlist if updates are made before the event.
