Storyline attachments missing Apr 06, 2013 By Gnaneswar R Hi Folks, I'm having problem with Storyline when ever I move my source to other machine it loses attachments in the file. Is it a machine problem or storyline. Im using storline update 2.

When you attach a document asan attachment, it actually stores the path to the file and the file name intothe .storyline file. When you publish yourpresentation, SL physically copies the file into his external_files directory. This means that whenever you publishyour presentation(s), the attachments must be where you’ve indicated them tobe. To overcome this problem we createda repository on a common drive which when we publish will always be available. Cheers Geert
