Salesforce1 Mobile App Developer Guide
jAbout Offline Access in Salesforce1
Your mobile users' productivity doesn't have to stop when there's no connectivity. When you enable caching and Offline Edit for Salesforce1, users can keep working, unimpeded by a subway commute, FAA regulations, capricious cellular signals, or bunker-style buildings. Offline access is available for the Salesforce1 downloadable apps. The beta version of Offline Edit requires version 10.0 of the Salesforce1 for Android downloadable app or the Salesforce1 for iOS downloadable app.
Caching in Salesforce1 is enabled the first time someone in your org installs one of the Salesforce1 downloadable apps.

A Salesforce1 session is the time between logging in and logging out of the app. Switching away from Salesforce1 doesn’t end the session as long as the user doesn’t log out.
All right! We’ve addressed notifications and offline access, now let’s look at the Salesforce1 navigation menu.
