Note: In addition to files opened from the section list or attachment list, files that you navigate to via next/previous on the preview screen are also recorded in the history.

Book content is synchronized with the server.

Sync Status Icons

A sync status icon is displayed at the bottom right of the book cover image.

Status Icon Description
Cloud Reference Cloud Content is referenced from the server. Not downloaded to the device
Downloaded Local Content is downloaded to the device. Available offline

Note: When you tap a downloaded book, a "Reference Cloud Content" dialog appears, allowing you to delete local content and switch to cloud reference.

Tip: Newly shared books are initially in cloud mode. This prevents unexpected storage consumption when books contain large content such as videos. To download shared books automatically, enable "Automatic download of shared book content" in Settings.
