I have a very large course, 11 modules of content, dozens of videos, audio files, etc. A customer wants the course, but broken into 11 individual courses. Simple, or so I thought. When I do a "Save As", rename, then delete 10 of the 11 modules, the new "Module 1" courses' PPTA is retaining ALL of the media from the large course. Is there a simple way to fix this so that I can easily create the 11 modules the same way?
Thank you. This option does work, however I was trying to avoid it as the media doesn't copy to be re-inserted on every slide. I have read other threads where people say to publish the file, and the PPTA will reset. Have tried this and it does not work. I'm just at a loss as to why the file is retaining the memory (and media) of 11 modules, when the slides for only 1 module are the only ones still present. Why is Articulate not like Captivate in this sense of having a visable library one can enter and alter?
If you make changes to a file and hit publish, the published output will have the updated information, not the PPT file itself.
You would need to do a Save as after removing the 10 modules that are not needed. Otherwise, when you close the file without saveing, it will revert back to how you originally opened it.

Hello Don!
You could try copy and pasting the slides needed (for each individual module) into a new file, and then saving with a new name.
Let us know if this works.

Yes, have done the "Save As", a couple of times, neither worked. The file size remained exactly the same.
Do you have a file you could share with us?
I dont seem to be able to add it as an attachment, at 300mb it might be too big. If you give me your email, I'll send it to via Box. thanks.
