- Whereas it is possible to click on the share button while being offline, the actual sharing requires connectivity
- Reviewing observation that have been shared by your team
- Only users with users with submission moderators permissions or higher can retrieve and review observations shared by other users of your operation.
- You need to be online to retrieve the shared observations and while editing them.
- Submitting observations to the InfoEx
