Exporting a Storyline Player Style - Glossary?

Hi Bruce,

The glossary would be saved within the project itself, not the player - but as you'll see described below, you can save it as a Storyline template:

Re-using a glossary in other projects

When you add a glossary to a course, these items are saved within your project, not within your player. (This means that if you save your player and apply the player to other projects, the glossary won't be applied with it.)

If you want to re-use the same glossary in another project, an easy way to do that is to save your project as a Storyline template. Then, when you're ready to begin a new project, use that template as your starting point by choosing From project template on the Storyline launch screen. When you repurpose content this way, the player customizations on the template (including any Glossary you've added) become part of the new project. If you later add, delete, or change any of the glossary terms, those changes won't automatically carry over to other projects in which you've used the same template. You'll need to make the same changes in each project.

The color scheme is saved as a part of the Player, and the Storyline template - so you could be ok there. 

Thanks Ashley - great explanation

Thanks Bruce.

Along these same lines, is it possible to export the contents of a glossary from a Storyline project to another document, such as a Word doc, without having to open the Player features window, opening, copying and pasting each individual entry? I have a glossary that needs to be vetted and I'd like ot send the glossary alone to the reviewers.

Hi Edward, 

Sure - If you want to re-use the same glossary in another project, an easy way to do that is to save your project as a Storyline template.

Ashley,

Got that part, makes it easy to have a common glossary for a series of related courses, which is what I am working on. My need, however, is to be able to take the contents of the glossary and export that to a Word document so I can have it reviewed by our technical experts. I know I can open each entry in the glossary, copy the text then paste it into a Word doc, but that is rather time consumming and I was hoping that there was a way to export the entire glossary.

Hi Edward,

Thanks for the clarification - I haven't seen a method to just include the glossary within a publish or export to Word, but it may be something the community has done before, in the meantime you may want to submit it as a feature request. 

whenever I need to export import the glossary, i use this trick:
