# Guided Offline Editing QGIS plugin

Guided Offline Editing is a little QGIS plugin that provides some simple automations to ease projects sharing across an organization. At the moment, it relies heavily on PostgreSQL.

How it works ? First, a “power user” (a GIS admin, a DBA, or the like) prepares beforehand one or more projects for working with PostgreSQL/Postgis layers. That is: she loads PostgreSQL layers in QGIS and prepares everything to work with these layers: symbology, forms, and so on. She does so with as much details as possible (form widgets, field validation, field help, relationships, …). She also indicates which layers must be downloaded for offline edition (a variable to set in layer properties). Then these projects are saved in PostgreSQL.

Now, on the “normal user” side, the plugin shows the list of available projects that have been prepared in this manner. The user just has to select one project and click the Go! button. That’s it! The project is loaded like it was prepared. The user can also choose to download the project for offline edition. The whole project is then saved into one GeoPackage file. Later, when back online, the user clicks the Upload button and the layers are synchronised into PostgreSQL.
