Offline use
Users can access material offline within nkoda, however, within the context of the institutional access you will have to 'Extend' your access. Once you have viewed a score, and left the score, you'll see the option to 'Extend' the access in the green banner at the top of the App. By doing this, you hold onto a simultaneous user for 12 hours, during which time you can store and then use material offline. This feature is to enable you to prepare for a situation where you may need scores offline.
