Connect a Local Books office computer

Set up an approved Desktop workstation and sign in with the staff access your company assigns.

1. Prepare the host

On the activated Desktop computer, keep Local Books open and the host awake. In Settings, open Users & Access and enable approved office computer connections. Connect both computers to the same trusted office network.

2. Create a connection code

Choose Add computer on the host to create a one-use code. Share it only with the person setting up the workstation. If it expires, generate a fresh code.

3. Join from the other computer

Install Local Books and choose Connect to your office. Select the host or use its connection details if it is not discovered. Enter the workstation name and code. Choose the company and sign in using your own staff account.

4. Check access and reconnect if needed

Confirm that staff can reach the areas assigned to them. If the host goes to sleep or closes Local Books, restore it and retry the connection. Keep the host and workstations on matching versions. Remove obsolete workstations in Office computers on the host.
