An offline file is a complete, editable copy of a board in MockFlow, saved as a **.board** file on your computer. Use it to work on the board offline in the MockFlow desktop app for Windows and macOS, to keep a copy of a finished project, or to bring the board into another space later. Unlike an image export, every item stays editable.

## Download the offline file

1. Open the board and click the MockFlow logo (1) at the top left to open the main menu.
2. Under **Export**, click **Offline file** (2).

## Open or import the file

- **In the desktop app:** open the .board file in the MockFlow desktop app to view and edit the board without an internet connection.
- **In a space:** import the file to turn it back into a board that your team can open. See [Import a board or wireframe file](/docs/import-a-board-or-wireframe-file).

## Which plans include offline files

Downloading a board as an offline file is available on yearly subscriptions. Without a yearly subscription, clicking the export button offers an upgrade instead. The Basic plan does not include offline files, and many other features, such as the offline desktop app, editor roles and live presentation mode, are available on Plus and Max. See [MockFlow pricing](https://mockflow.com/pricing/) for details.
