Question for designers with Storyline

Aug 03, 2016

Hello
Is it an accepted practice when you buy a storyline course to ask the designer to sell also the "Story"extension?

Our society  own a storyline licence, we would like to update the course from time to time ...

This ".story"   file would also be used to translate the course.  We are asked to pay the translation import for one language

By the way, has anyone used the "Translation import/export", is it efficient?

Thank you to share.

As a standard practice I include the source files along with the finished product.  The original images as well as the .story or .cptx.  Some designer/ developers keep the source files because they don't want the client to make changes that muck up or break the great product that the designer spent a number of hours producing.  I have become infuriated when I revisited a project I developed and the customer made so many changes any semblance the project's appearance had to a professionally designed product had been destroyed. 

As Ron suggested, if you want the source file then it needs to be included in your Statement of Work or contract.
