Here is the published article on how to download the website as an app (progressive web application) for offline use: https://signpost-global.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/15862669658397.
Users should be able to navigate around the page to see service articles like they would on the web browser but via app, though there will be limitations with using the chat channels for example. More to come on that as we need to further improve the PWA to make it fully navigable offline.
"While there are methods to preload and precache content using Progressive Web Apps (PWA), it's worth noting that this is not directly supported by Vercel. Although there are existing libraries that can achieve preloading, they are limited to static content and not dynamically generated ones such as services and articles.
After thorough investigation, a workaround was identified. However, it's important to highlight that this workaround is not entirely reliable, can be resource-intensive, and was designed for use with older versions. For a more detailed explanation, you can refer to the open issue linked here:

To download the website offline as an app has been completed, but to ensure a fully functional offline website is working (being able to navigate to other pages, services instead of limited to the homepage), we have created another Jira ticket - https://theirc.atlassian.net/browse/SP-2816.
This is with our lead developer to action with a completion date of Jan 16.
