Comparing modules Jul 25, 2022 By Darin Fennell I have two versions of a Storyline module that I need to compare. Is there an easy way to compare the two modules and see what the differences are? Thanks, Darin

Judy Nollet Hero over 1 year ago07/26/22 at 2:53 pm (UTC) For comparing text, I'd use the Translation > Export to Word function. With that, you'll get a Word file with readable/editable text. Then, as Wendy suggested, use Word's "compare" function to locate any differences. Note: When you Publish to Word, you only get screenshots. Word can't compare those. As Jürgen said, there's no way to easily locate changes to animations, triggers, layouts, etc.
