Articulate Studio 13 - today's update

Oct 18, 2018

I've updated my installation  of Articulate Studio 13, but wondering if I truly need to republish all my courses.  The email mentioned a problem with videos on the first slide.  Are those the only courses that I would need to republish?

It sounds like slides beyond the first are unaffected, but I wanted to verify.  Republishing and retesting is a lot of work :-)

Thanks for any light you can shed on this -

Hi Anne,

The latest updates of Studio '13 fixed the following:

  • Fixed: Pausing and resuming a slide or clicking anywhere on the seekbar caused audio to start over. As a result, animations were no longer in sync with narration.
  • We added support for Google's new media policy, which could prevent audio and video from autoplaying in Chrome. If a Presenter course stops working in Chrome, install the latest Studio update and republish.
  • Since Apple no longer allows videos to autoplay by default in Safari 11, learners now see a play button when they launch or resume a course with a video on the first slide. Clicking the play button allows the video to play as expected. 
  • We added support for Microsoft’s new policy of blocking Flash controls in PowerPoint 2016. No more ActiveX errors when adding videos to Presenter ‘13 courses!

I'd republish any courses that you'd like to take advantage of the fixes above.  

If you don't want to republish all your courses and are only worried about the courses with videos, you can use the Articulate updater detailed here.
