Default Publish Title
Feb 04, 2014
I just tried to publish a presentation that I have published before, but when I published it this time the Publish to Articulate Online dialog box defaulted to the last presentation I had published, which also had a different player. Suspecting nothing, I typed in my password and hit publish. When I went online to view the presentation I thought I had just published, there was an old version there. I went back to my ppt, clicked on Publish, and saw what it had done. (Which was overwrite a presentation I did not want to overwrite.) I had to republish both presentations. Why did it do this?

And now I've published it again with the correct title, but there's still an old version out there that doesn't match today's content. I ran a disk cleanup before publishing to delete temporary files.
Hi Alison! Did you also try clearing your cache?
This does help with a lot of Articulate Online problems and I've started clearing my cache constantly, but it's not related to this problem. Today, for instance, I tried to publish a new module which consists just of a Replay screen recording with audio. I was mystified when it asked me if I wanted to replace the existing file. I went out and checked (because I had attempted to record the session before but it didn't have audio, so I never published it). Convinced that it wouldn't really be replacing anything, I answered Yes, waited while it published the long module, clicked on Manage, and it brought me to a different module title. It had overwritten a different, totally unrelated module. I republished that one, then came back to try to publish today's. I typed the correct title. This time it did not ask me about replacing (which it shouldn't). I published, clicked Manage. I clicked Launch. The video was the correct video, but the audio had BOTH the correct audio and the audio from a different, totally unrelated module that I had open recently. WHAT's GOING ON? Everything is on my local hard drive.
Yesterday I started from a brand new ppt file. On the one and only slide I inserted a video from file. This morning I was having the same problem so I went to Import Audio (which should have had nothing). It said Existing narration. So I removed that. I'm attempting to republish it. It's taking forever, but I assume it will be fine.
