# Offline Download

### How do I access the offline or downloadable version of my book?

Once you have launched your eText from Engage via your browser, you can access the offline mobile apps quickly and easily from any of your eTextbooks by clicking the More Options (3-dot menu) and then Download App or by clicking your Account Icon on the top right. 

A pop up will appear. You can then choose to download apps or use the quick mobile sign in.
