Issues when trying to publish

Hi there,

I am very new to Articulate and I am pretty much self taught (not sure if that is a good thing or not!). I am successfully publishing a presentation and then I save it to a zip file and extract the content. However when I select the story_html5 it goes to launch the presentation but then nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going wrong?

I have been publishing via Articulate online previously which generates a link,  but this time I just want to send the file.

Hope this all makes sense.

Thanks

Sarah

Hi Sarah and welcome to Heroes! 

Are you publishing for web? If so, you'll need to post the output folder within a web server or ftp and then send the link to the story.html (or story_html5.html) version. 

If you don't have access to a web server, here are a few free options to consider:

  • Tempshare: This is a free service provided by Articulate for testing Storyline content. Note: Uploaded files will be deleted after 10 days.
  • Amazon S3: Amazon S3 offers free hosting with generous usage limits. If you go over your limit, you'll be charged a graduated fee.
  • Dropbox: Place your published output in the Public folder in your Dropbox account to share it with others.
  • Google Drive: Change the story.html file to index.html, and set the sharing permissions to Public. Here's how.
