When I create an Articulate Package, the attachments to the presentation are then showing as read only and I am unable to access them. There is no transfer of files between computers or networks at this point, as I am simply trying to create back-up with editing ability for a client. Any suggestions on why this is happening?
Glad you got it sorted out For others who may stumble upon this thread, when working on an Articulate Presenter presentation in a collaborative environment with other developers, I recommend that you use the following workflow:
1. Use the Send to Articulate Presenter Package feature to make an exact copy of the project and the included Engage interactions and Quizmaker quizzes per the method in this article.
If the project files are already located on a network drive, proceed to Step 2.
If the project files are currently located on your local hard drive, skip to Step 6.
2. When you need to edit or publish the presentation, copy the ZIP file (the Articulate Presenter Package) from your network drive to your local hard drive. 3. Extract (unzip) the project files onto your local hard drive. 4. Edit and / or publish the presentation as necessary. 5. Use the Send to Articulate Presenter Package feature (from Step 1) to make an exact copy of the updated project files. 6. Copy the resulting ZIP file to your network drive for storage and sharing. 7. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 whenever you need to edit or publish the presentation in the future.
By working on the main project files on your local hard drive, you prevent any corruption or erratic behavior of the files that might have occurred by working on a network drive (ie: random backups). Also, this method ensures that all of your Engage interactions and Quizmaker quizzes stay properly linked together. Hope that's helpful!
