Where they talk about it
Quotes
- 4:07 "Notice we don't process them immediately, we process them the moment your connection comes back." - Explains how offline mode behaves: capture now, process later.
- 4:18 "there is no processing really locally, uh but we just kind of keep them ready for you" - States the limit of offline mode: no local processing of receipts.
Caveats mentioned
- No local processing; receipts are only processed after the connection returns
- Only some parts of the flow work offline
Prerequisites mentioned
- Expense Agent mobile app installed on iOS or Android
Documented features match
- No documented item matched. Not documented
- Product documentation: Use the Expense Agent mobile app for iOS and Android (preview), checked 2026-10-02. The app queues receipts you capture while offline and automatically uploads them when you reconnect.
Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
