I have been creating several presentations using engage circle diagrams.
When I update one diagram in one presentation, and open another presentation I am often finding that the same changs have been made - is this because my engage interactions have the same title? How do I stop this from happening if this is not the case?
If you're using the same interaction (.INTR file) in more than one presentation, changes made to the interaction will be reflected in each presentation where the interaction is used. To avoid having the changes carry over to other presentations where the same interaction is used, you will need to make a copy of the .INTR file, then remove the interaction from one of the presentations and add it back in using the new .INTR file. Does that make sense? Let us know if it works for you. Good luck!
It's also a good idea to rename the file name so it is obvious what project it applies to (even if it's just a version #). Then there's no question you are accessing the correct Engage (and Quizmaker) files. I learned the hard way.

Great advice, Jim. Thanks!
