I'm wondering if anyone has some great suggestions on how to track changes made in elearning courses. Currently we have an excel sheet that keeps track of course title and creation date but I'm curious if anyone has anything better. Also are you saving over the old version or saving a copy of the new course and moving the old file to an archive for a certain period of time.
Box.com lets you access previous versions of a file (so you don't need to change the name). You could use that in conjunction with a document of changes, or add them as Box comments like "V5: Changed header font and added drag-and-drop slide to second section".
Nope, it shouldn't be able to tell the difference. If anything, you could zip up the .story file. Box has a "upload a new version" option, which is great if your file has changed named or file types (like zipping or going from .ppt to .pptx). If the file name is still the same, you can just drag it on to the screen and it will know to add it as a new version to the existing file.

Hi Analie,
I've never kept a log of changes made to my e-learning courses. Is there a specific reason you'd like to do that?
I do, however, usually rename my files whenever I make big changes (v1, v2, v3) in case I ever decide I want to undo that change.

Good idea, Allison!
That's a great idea Allison! I'm using Storyline 2, do you think Box would have any issues with the older software?
We are debating keeping copies of old training for potential compliance purposes so I was asked to look into options.
