Signing offline transaction with paper wallet Electrum 3.0.2

Is this no longer able to be done? I read on this post below how to do a workaround but it no longer works. Also, the documentation on cold storage seems to be for an older version and no longer compatible ?

Basically I want to import BTC from a paper wallet on the offline computer (import private key), save the master public key, import master public key on online computer and save transaction with the paper wallet public address, sign and save the transaction on offline computer, broadcast that transaction on online computer. Can this be done ? If not, how about on other software ?

I realize I can sweep but I'm trying to avoid doing anything but a saved transaction on the online computer. I'm open to workarounds or other approaches. Otherwise it seems the best option is to sweep on Electrum or using Bread wallet on iOS ?

Thanks !

You can. Just create a watch-only wallet with your address/xpub in a online PC, create the transaction, send it to the offline PC where you imported the address private-key/wallet seed, sign it and broadcast through the internet.

In case you have any issues, this video explains exactly the same proccess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQumISxkJsQ
