Can I create a blank tab? I have a few resources but they are a mixed type - ie,text with hyperlinks, textwithout hyperlinks, and email addresses. Is that possible with Articulate Presenter/Engage?
You can still utilize the same functionality as the resources tab as shown here Brian, but perhaps you are wanting to re-name or remove the name from the actual player text?
Thanks for that advice Leslie. The tutorial shows how to add links to a file or website but not an email address or plain text like a contact name. So for example if I wanted to create a tab called "Contacts" it won't let me add a person's name and email address because it requires a URL or link to a file.
I apologize Brian, I assumed you meant that you were still linking to a file. A blank tab of resources that went to various information (documents) that you could not 'classify'. I'm not sure of the best way to do what you are looking for.
Nelson - your solution will work. Thanks. I have one further question about tabs. Am I able to add a tab to the sidebar? I like how the sidebar is set-off from the rest of the course so I want my "Resources" tab there instead of on top.
Have you seen the tutorial here on how to add elements to your player - and you'll see the directions there in regards to adding other player tabs and including them in the sidebar or from the top right/left.
Thanks for the tip Ashley - howver I can only move the pre-defined tabs to the Sidebar. If I create a new tab using an Engage Interaction then I can't add it to the Sidebar. The arrow is grayed out when I try to move it from the Top bar to the Sidebar.
The Engage interactions can only appear on the top left or right - not on the sidebar. You're welcome to share your thoughts here in the form of a feature request.

Brian, will something like this work for you?Click to see example (posted on the SCORM cloud).
It's essentially an engage accordioninteraction added to presenter as a player tab (click the Contacts tab on the top bar).

Hi Brian,

Hope that helps

Hi Brian!
That is correct, the Engage Tab will be a part of your top bar of your course player.
You are able to move it to the left or right, correct?
I can move it to the left or right but not the Sidebar, which is where I really want it.
