Change default advance from "Auto" to "By User"
It should be a global setting for anything involving Articulate and slides. Every time I add a slide (from PowerPoint) I have to go back and change the setting to user advance or I'll have an auto advance when I publish in Presenter; that's kind of a pain.
And this issue goes back seven years. Would it be that difficult to make a place for global settings?
Hello David!
I appreciate your comments and can see where it would be beneficial to select your own default settings. I'd like to share this in detail with my team, so I might need a few additional details from you to relay exactly what you're looking for.
It sounds like you're specifically looking to designate the default settings in Presenter, which mainly includes how the slide advances. Are there additional settings that I can include?

Good morning!
Yes, there are a number of parameters that I frequently have to check before I publish in Presenter--in QuizMaker as well.
I would be great if I could set them once, and then forget about them.
Having just returned from a few days off, I'm a bit strapped for time, but I could eventually make a list; that said, having global default settings for virtually all the options available just makes sense. I rely on the Preferences area for every piece of software that I use (it's one of the first feature sets that I get to know), and I don't think that I'm alone in this.

Hello David!
Good to know, and no rush on that list! I'm happy to start the conversation with my team by sharing what you've explained so far.
I'll keep you updated in this discussion.

By the way, here's another example of what we have to contend with (more text below)-this just came in, but it's not a new issue:

I have this in my checklist, but apparently my colleague did not:*** Is quiz set to NOT scroll down? - (Inside quiz) Player > Features [ ] Require user to scroll to bottom on longer questions UNCHECKED!!
That probably means that we'll have to reprocess that course through PS ELM, which is a royal pain. That setting in Quizmaker should be a global default that we can uncheck, so that this never happens again. Instead, we need to uncheck the box with each and every course-hundreds of them! That makes no sense to me.
Have a good evening!
