Use cases for embedding a single record - in a bunch of kanban board use cases that involve shuffling a "unit of work" across various pipeline stages, I'd like for pages and blocks (discussion documents, etc) to be able to either link to that record (ideally with a link back as well) or be entirely represented by it. This speeds up workflow, and reduces ambiguity during communication. I'd expect, e.g. that one might create a Board representing a project and work to be done for it, and a Channel in which participants might want to write messages like "Do you need any help for @Task1 ?".
The offline mode bit - that's correct, I didn't open the other pages on my phone before going offline. I imagine it does come down a bit to what the overall impact on performance would be, but in terms of reducing the mental overhead of using a particular tool, having online devices completely sync means that if I close my laptop to jump on an underground train, I only need to quickly open my mobile app, wait for a "tick" to appear to indicate it's synced, then I'm ready (and importantly, I feel reassured that I'm ready). By contrast to the current system, I'd need to mentally try and keep track of which files I've edited recently, and which files I've already opened on which devices, and try and manually calculate what I need to open on my phone and tablet in order for me to not discover halfway through doing something on the train that I don't have access to the new resource I just made. It makes a big difference in terms of how much work and mental energy a tool is saving you, and how much it still requires of you.
