In that case you a complete export as a file.
Nothing has to be in sync then as you will not
import changes.
For such a use-case I wrote the jGnucashViewer
as a standalone, executable jar-file that does not
require an installation.
(For a tax-audit you can supply the software but
 it must not require installation on the examiners
 laptop.)
