Offline files on iPad app?

Hello using latest iPad app, where can I view offline files??  Would think it would be main tab at the bottom.. all I see is home, files,  create, photos, and account. And I don't see it in any of those tabs. On iPhone app there is (was?) offline tab ...?

    There is no Offline FIles tab. You go to Account, then Manage Offline Files. Also, when you're actually offline, there's a message at the top of your Files list that will take you to your offline files.

    Hi Devman123, welcome to Dropbox Community!
     
    By turning on the Available offline option you make a file available for offline viewing . When a file is available offline, you can access that file even when your phone isn't connected to Wi-Fi or data.

    Oh ok thanks I see it now, the documentation appears to be outdated because it also refers to Offline tab...
