Use a long connection code when nearby discovery is unavailable

Steps

1. On the host: Office & devices → Create device invitation.
2. Enter a name for this laptop, select its access role and review the office address. If several adapters are listed, use the address reachable from that laptop.
3. Create the code and transfer the complete text securely to the intended user.
4. On the standalone laptop: Office & devices → I already have a connection code. Paste the entire long code and select Connect.
5. If the laptop says Office host, follow the missing Join guide first. If the host is unavailable, check its listener before generating more codes.

Check that it worked

The laptop loads the correct office records. Only one device uses that invitation.

Still stuck?

Treat the long code as a private access key. Revoke the unused invitation if it went to the wrong person.
