I have developed a course in Storyline 2. I have forwarded it to my client to review and they are unable to view it as they only have Storyline 1. Can you save 2 in a Storyline 1 format?
Thanks so much. Can you guide me as I have never published to web. I have worked through the tutorial for publishing. However when it comes to save to "Server etc" what does that imply? I do not have access to our clients systems. I tested to add a file to a Dropbox but that does not work, any suggestions?
To send to Dropbox, you need to save the file structure with all files to the Public area, then right-click on the Dropbox>Public>CoursenameFolder> Story.html file, and you can "Copy Public Link".
This will let them view it, it's what I do all the time.
Are courses in Storyline 1 forward compatible with Storyline 2? Or would I need to recreate the 1 version coures in 2 once I upgrade? I know it does not go backwards.
Hi David! The Storyline 1 courses will be updated to Storyline 2 as well as a backup file (for SL1) created. You can run both versions of Storyline on the same computer if necessary and you are correct. Any files created in Storyline 2 will NOT be compatible in Storyline 1.

Storyline 2 is not backwards compatible with SL1, you could publish for web and send them a link.
But if the client wants to be able to edit they either need SL2 or you need to build it in SL1

Hello Adriaan!
Here is a tutorial on publishing for web.
After publishing, do any of the following:
After uploading your published content to a web server, give learners the URL for the story.html file.
If you don't have access to a web server, here are a few free options to consider:
