Advice on Different Authors Collaborating on the Same Project

We've done projects just this way. 

Copying and pasting slides from one open instance of Storyline to another may give better results than using the import features. I prefer this method as it's easier to organize a few slides at a time than to import a big batch and reconnect all of the new stuff.

Thanks, Steve. Good to hear that someone else has been working this way. 

Thanks for the input. 

Steve, could you be more specific on what you mean by copy and pasting from one open instance of SL to another? Do you mean you open two instances of SL on the same maching? This is soon going to be an issue with my team as we add additional licenses of SL and will likely be sharing work on the same projects from time to time.

What is the best practice for collaboration on a file?

Hey guys, 

I know everyone does things a little differently, but here's Articulate's recommended workflow for collaborative network environments. Hope it helps.

Thanks, Peter. Looks like Dropbox will have to be our "network drive". 

I regularly work with other UK designers using DropBox.

Just need to have a mechanism, (usually Skype) to ensure that you are not working on file at same time, or else you get some strange "Conflict" issues to resolve.

Bruce

Thanks, Bruce. Yes, we have been very careful about that! 

Sidenote - no need to copy in and out of your Dropbox folder. Your local DB folder is local storage. I've seen folks copy files in and out of Dropbox - it's not necessary

Hey guys,(I accidentally removed my previous post). I have a small tip as well. You could also use "Perforce". Perforce is basically the same tool as Dropbox but you can prevent conflict issues like Bruce Graham mentioned. It's simple you can check out files in which other people can see that you are working on the specific file. It's a great tool, you might want to check it out. Cheers!
