New to Articulate and using Engage and Quizz maker for an e-learning course. I am working with an associate on the same project. Is it possible to work independently then merge the two presentations? i.e. keeping all the quizes and interactions intact.
1) Open both PowerPoint files, and decide which file is the master. 2) In the secondary presentation, click in the slide view area, highlight all the slides, and press CTRL+C to copy all slides. 3) Switch to the master file, click in the slide view area, and press CTRL+V to paste the copied slides. 4) If you have recorded narration in the secondary presentation, export the audio from each secondary presentation using the steps in this article. 5) Then import the audio files into the master presentation.
Let us know how it works. Good luck with the project!
I am trying to do this as well. My situation is a little different in that the three presenter projects are individually completed and running on the LMS. These are very short and now we want to merge them all together. How can I do this and maintain the annotations, audio, engage and quizmaker settings? What would the easiest way to do this?
Assuming you have access to the source files, the steps above should work for you. Without the source files, if you only have access to the published versions, I'm not aware of any way you'd be able to merge the courses.
I do have all of the source files, but am a bit confused about what I will need to do. For example, the articulate PPTA is not being used therefore will I lose my annotations and animation timings? Will I need to import my engage and quizmaker files and therefore settings, etc?
Sorry I missed that. So the only way I know of to merge two courses, is to use the copy/paste method above - which I believe, as you said, loses the annotations, timings, etc. I can test it later this afternoon to confirm. So you will most likely need to recreate those. And Brian covers the quizzes and interactions question here.
Out of curiosity, are you just trying to consolidate or are you looking for a way to ensure the user gets to all the information? Would course sequencing be something you'd be interested in?
hey Peter, this is interesting. The link for course sequencing, which is exactly what I want to do, is for articulate online. Does this work the same way for courses that are hosted in an LMS?
Yeah, the same concept should apply, and it's a really cool idea. I know other customers have been able to make it work on their LMSes. Glad to hear that might be a solution for you Let us know if you run into trouble implementing it.
The presentation that you decide will be the master should retain its audio and annotations syncs, but I believe you'll need to re-sync the presentation slides that you paste into it.

Welcome to Heroes, Nicolette!
Give this a shot:
1) Open both PowerPoint files, and decide which file is the master.
2) In the secondary presentation, click in the slide view area, highlight all the slides, and press CTRL+C to copy all slides.
3) Switch to the master file, click in the slide view area, and press CTRL+V to paste the copied slides.
4) If you have recorded narration in the secondary presentation, export the audio from each secondary presentation using the steps in this article.
5) Then import the audio files into the master presentation.

Thanks, Peter.

In Nicolette's case, is there no way to avoid resyncing?
Hi Sydelle,
The presentation that you decide will be the master should retain its audio and annotations syncs, but I believe you'll need to re-sync the presentation slides that you paste into it.
