Can you plublish select multiple scenes in Storyline 360?
Hi,
We have several clients that use 90% of the same content in our multi scene lessons. Is there any way to publish MULTIPLE but not ALL scenes in a project? For example we'd like to publish scene 1,2,3,4 for client 1 but 1,2,4 for client 2 and 1,3,4 for client 3, etc.
Thanks,
Lori

Storyline has 3 options for what to publish: the entire project, a single scene, or a single slide.
To publish multiple (but not all) scenes, save a copy of the file, delete the unwanted scenes, and then publish it.
I suggest you delete the copy after publishing. Or, at least, archive it. That will let you make all updates to the one file with all the scenes.
I am aware of this feature.
And your suggestion of saving a copy and deleting the unwanted scenes is not a very practical one. We have clients that need different configurations and would prefer that developers not go in and delete stuff having to retest, etc. It would be really nice if we could choose multiple scenes to publish instead of one slide, one scene or whole project.
lorraineS Unlike the other scenario in this post, where I used JavaScript to force the menu to only show slides from one scene plus the scenes the learner has chosen, this one is different. In my understanding here, you want to select which scenes show after publishing. You can't publish only selected scenes directly, but you can control which scenes appear in your project using JavaScript. For example, if you have 10 scenes but want only scenes 1, 3, 5, and 7 to show for your client, simply assign 1,3,5,7 to a custom text variable (e.g., named scenes), and use JavaScript to read that variable and hide the rest. See this example below in action.
Hi Nedim,
Thanks for your reply. I have actually used your solution for a complicated learner select scenario that we have. But what I'm really wanting now is to keep a master file with all the mini modules in it and publish a configuration per client based on which minis they want in their lesson. It would be very nice if Storyline would support publishing multiple scenes instead of one slide, one scene or whole project.
That's exactly what this new script does. All you need to do is assign a value to a scene's variable in the variable panel before publishing. For example, entering 1357 would publish only scenes 1, 3, 5, and 7. You would still need to publish the entire project, but your client would only see the selected scenes.
I understand you'd prefer a built-in, out-of-the-box solution. I'd suggest submitting a feature request to Articulate for that.
