Storyline360 Quits if Offline

This is something that bit me recently when I was travelling and didn't have an internet connection. I found that if Storyline360 can't connect to its authentication/authorization server, then the program quits. This made it impossible for me to do any work on my course until I could get to an internet connection. 

This seems to be part of an overprotective trend as Outlook in M$365 also follows the same playbook, but I'm saving my files locally (as is best practice)! I don't care if the various image libraries don't load or other connected functionality, like AI. Shutting down the program is an extreme response. Does SL360 itself load program resources remotely just to be able to run? I don't know the depth of this problem, but I'd sure like the ability to work offline. If there is a way to do this, can anyone fill me in?
