I have to change a couple of hyperlinks in a few slides in my project and I am wondering if there is a way to change the links without opening up the file and re-exporting? I was able to change one of the links in my resource dropdown by editing a file called frame.xml ... I am wondering if there is something similar for hyperlinks in regular slides?
Very nice solution Matthew! The only thing I don't like it manually editing the published output, as I feel that leaves too much room for error for most users. Can the external .js file be included with a javascript trigger in the course? It seems like I've done that before in Storyline 2.
I've also used window.open directly in an execute JavaScript trigger for those clients who don't want their hyperlinks stored elsewhere. Then, we then need to be updated, you can just grab the user.js file off the LMS and update that.
This approach doesn'r require any post-publish surgery, although isn't as flexible.

Not sure, but I want to remind you that if you republish, it will over write frame.xml, and you'll have to do it again.
No, there is no way to do this.
Although, if you set up your hyperlinks using JavaScript in the future, then you can update them easily using this approach.

Yes, that could be done Michael.
However, I tried to keep things (relatively) simple for this tutorial.
I understand. Thanks.
