Engage Interactions are embedded in the presenter file
Nov 12, 2015
I am working on a course that was created a couple of years ago. I created an Articulate package and moved it to my local drive.
I discovered that there are 34 Engage interactions in the course but I cannot see any intr files.
I opened the ppta file and saw that the 34 interactions were in a directory called embedded content.
How do you get interactions to be embedded like this?
How can you convert this so that the interactions become independent intr files? I know I can extract them from the ppta file but with 34 of them this would be significant effort.
Is there any advantage to embedding the interactions like this? I suppose it reduces the number of files you have to track but my ppta file is over 40 Meg.
Thanks,
G

Hi Gordon!
As to why, I think it's typically the design need of the course.
Here's how to add quizzes and interactions to Articulate Presenter '13 courses.
I'm not sure what you mean by convert the files? You should be able to open the interactions in Engage independently as well.
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for getting back to me.
How do I open the Engage interactions independently? There are no .intr files.
When I create an interaction, I see the intr file. There are no .intr files in the set of files I copied from the network drive. All the interactions are stored in the ppta file.
I am not so much trying to convert the files. I am trying to extract them from the ppta file so I can use them in another project. I can extract them through the program I used to view the ppta file internals (7-Zip) but that seems intrusive.
When I edit one of the embedded interactions, I cannot save or save as the interaction. I can only save and return to presenter.
It is possible that this project was originally developed in a previous version of Articulate Studio but I am not certain,
Thanks,

Hi Gordon!
I use 7-zip as well. This is how I would extract the file.
