When placing the project on my works server, the link now is going to this folder instead of the one I want. What is supposed to be in this external files folder??
Check the contents of the External Files folder. When you set a link to a resource, if it is not available on the internet, this is the way SL handles it.
Every local resource is packaged up and placed into the external resources folder, and is part of the published package. That way, it is available even to those who do not have access to the original computer.

Do all the links use the word "images" as the text to click? If so, try using "images folder" and see if that helps.
Hi John and welcome to E-Learning Heroes 😊
Thanks for contacting us and sharing what you are experiencing with your project file.
I have a few questions for you to consider:
Hello and thanks for the reply.
No I am working in a VDI environment then moving it over to my works network which is an intranet network.
Yes the files there are under the limit.
I publish the project as a web or CD output and its the same. We cant not use the LMS option.
I am viewing it ion my works network machine which I am connected to.
Why does the program change the URL when I publish the project?
Can you explain the "External_files" folder?

No they dont. This was just one example. But I think I found a work around by going into the files Storyline makes and changing them manually.
