need zip files after closing publish successful screen
I published and accidentally closed the publish successful pop up box before I had a chance to zip the files. Is there a way to get the zip files without having to publish again?

Hi Beth
both the zipped and unzipped folder of published files should be in your Documents > My Articulate Projects folder
@Wendy, I know that's where they store them if I click zip files, but if I miss clicking zip files in the publish successful box, I don't believe a zip file is created automatically.
You can try zipping the folder file that's in there if you want to but isn't it just quicker to republish?
Yes it is, I was just wondering if there was a way to get it without republishing.
Having just done the same thing as Beth, I will chime in to say that this would be a nice feature. It would also be a nice option to publish only to a zip file as this is the format used by many LMS's for publishing.
Has there been any progress on this issue? Avoiding republishing would be nice.
Hi Dan,
We recommend that you use the built-in Zip feature on the Publish Successful dialog after you've published your Articulate content. It'll automatically create a well-formed zip file.
If you must manually zip the output files, make sure to only zip the contents of the output folder (Documents > My Articulate Projects folder), not the folder itself.
Ahhh! That last bit of info is the tip I was looking for. I typically do use the feature in the Publish Successful dialog but today I accidentally closed it after a rather large course finished publishing. When manually zipping, I was zipping the folder itself. That's where I went wrong.
Thanks!
