Captello does not stop working when offline for the Badge Scanner the Business Card Scanner and Lists (as long as the list was loaded before going offline).

IntelliScan, Activations and CRM/NPI Lookup do not work in offline mode.

You can still submit leads, which are going to be saved on your device until it becomes online, then they will count as successful submissions, even when the event is connected to an API using a devkit.
