Can I create Estimates or Invoices when Square is offline ?

[Newthomas]

Is there a way to create either Estimates or Invoices when Square services are offline ? 
Maybe a PDF or document Template that can be used temporarily when either Internet is down or the the Square Server is down ??

You can create and save drafts, but you do need to have internet access.

Thank you for your reply, but I feel you did not answer my question. 
I’m asking if there is a way to have a backup process, non-dependent on Internet access as well as access to the Square Server. 
This would act only as a temporary measure in situations where Internet access was down for extended period of time but I still wanted to operate my business ? 
This exact situation happened here in North Carolina, where Hurricane Helene devastated the area I live in. Cell services were down for weeks as well as other communication services. 
This got me thinking, “How would I operate my business alternatively, when all my estimates and invoices are solely dependent on an Online, internet dependent provider??

Sorry, but there is no offline work capability for Invoices that I’m aware of. 
You could put in a feature request for it. 
I can see how this could be of great benefit.
