Open PPT or PPTA for editing?

Apr 17, 2017

When editing a file, do you suggest opening the .ppt or the .ppta? We are an office divided with half the team suggesting .ppt since that's the source file and the other half suggesting .ppta since that's the file that is the working file. We'd like Articulate to advise us on best practices.

Thank you,

Robin

Hello Robin - Great question and we certainly advise utilizing the .ppt file. In fact, if you are collaborating with others, please be sure you are following this workflow.

I can understand how the .ppta file may be confusing as it holds the resources for your course - audios, videos, web objects, quizzes, and interactions for example. The workflow shared above will help you keep this file with your .ppt file and this article may assist too.
