Although resources and glossaries are configured in the Storyline player, they're not stored in the player. Therefore, you can't share resources and glossaries with other projects or other developers by using the same player. But the workaround in this article should hopefully work for you.
Thanks for the lead on the glossary; I clicked on the link and it brought me to the general help page; when I searched for glossary the list provided some interesting ideas and problems. Looks like I'll do an independent file to hold the terms and definitions.
Yep, got the file but haven't had a chance to spend much time with it yet. It's near the top of my list today
And sorry for the link. Not sure what happened - it seems to be working fine on my end. Here's the gist of it:
To share resources and glossaries with other projects, computers, or developers, create a Storyline template. Note: You muststart a new story from the template for the resources and glossary to populate the player. If you import the template into anexisting story, the resources and glossary will not populate the player.
If you export the player to XML, the glossary should tag along. It did in the beta but could have changed. The benefit here is you can perform surgery on your glossary pretty easily in the XML file.

Hope that helps, and I'll be in touch soon!

Hey, that's a great idea Steve. I'll give it a whirl...
Thanks!
Import your new project into your old project, save as a new name and then delete the old project
Well, duh...
Thanks Phil!
