Is it possible to export a single scene from SL or to publish just a single scene? Or do you necessarily have to delete out the scenes you don't want? Just curious.
Hi Laura, you can publish a single scene without deleting the other scenes in your project.
To do this make the scene you want to publish the starting scene ( right click on the scene and select "Starting Scene).
Then make sure this starting scene is not linked to any other scene.
When you publish, only the starting scene will accessible when you launch story.html (although I think that the assessts for the nonpublished scenes are still included in the output folders.
There still isn't a one-click solution for publishing a single scene, but in addition to Nancy's idea, you could also import only the scene you want to publish into a new project and publish that one.
Nancy's method is pretty awesome and probably the fastest way.
However, if you want, you could always delete the other scenes, publish and close the file (but don't save it!).
Or, you could import the scene you wish to publish into its own Storyline course and then publish the course. Personally, this is my preferred method, because I like to keep a copy of the file I've published how I published it. If you update the original course, you could always insert the slides into the new course as well.
No updates on this feature - but if you haven't already you may want to share your thoughts in the form of a feature request here. The more the better!
Hi Everyone, this is a related issue. I would like to collaborate with someone on (literally) the other side of the world. What would be the easiest way to send ONE scene and import it to replace an existing scene on the other side.
So person A updates Scene 78 and send scene 78 to person B
Person B import and replace scene 78 to make her/his presentation up to date
Any other tricks for collaboration long distance ?
Phil solution is just for SL360. How about those of you who collaborate with distant coworkers with SL3 ? How do you edit and submit revision of just one story ?

Have there been any updates to this, or is this still the only way to publish a single scene?
this is still the only way.

Importing from Another Storyline Project
Hope this helps :)

It would be awesome to have a "Right-click > Create Standalone Review Scene" option - which produced a Title + appended SceneName + REVIEW.story file.

+1 That would definitely rock, Bruce :)
Make sure to add that to a feature request! Would save so much time!
Has there been any update since last year on having the ability to publish a scene with "one-click," without the using the method(s) mentioned above?

Submitted feature request :)
Storyline 360 now has the feature to publish a single scene or a single slide so no need for a feature request.
Hey Rachel and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Phil beat us to the good news!
You have some publish options now in Storyline 3 and Storyline 360.
