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 :-)
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.
Thanks so much for the info Ashley! That is perfect. The updater sounds like a slick tool (I always worry when I open a SL file for example, that an errant click somewhere on my part will ruin part of the course).

Hi Ashley,
What about courses with audio on the first slide, will these be affected?
I can't quite work out what will happen there.
Thanks.
Hi Carol,
It impacts audio and video on the first slide, so you'll want to look at updating those too!
Anne, Glad that'll work!
