There is a typo on one slide of my Storyline file. If I republish, my LMS is going to think that I need to reversion the course. Is it possible to go into the HTML5 output and edit the text of a slide? I tried editing some .js files without luck. I just need to delete one word.
Are you sure you need to reversion the course to update the content. I've worked with lots of LMSs and generally find you can overwrite content without reversioning.
Thanks. My LMS has recently started forcing reversions when it notices that the imsmanifest.xml has changed, even if it just that the resource files listed are different.
I was under the impression that every time you republish in Storyline that the resource files were given new randomized names, but now that I have tested republishing a course twice I see that this is not the case. The imsmanifest.xml file listed the same resource files both times I published.
Maybe I am thinking of Presenter that renames all the files each time you publish, Or maybe I am just not remembering this correctly at all.
This raises a question though - what changes to a Storyline file will cause the manifest file to change? Here are things I would assume would do this:
Now I just remembered a hack around this, and that is to use the old imsmanifest.xml file with the new published content. As long as it is only the resources list that has changed, I think the system will still accept the content and only give non-critical errors.
