Issues with copy and paste images
Hello, thank you for your response.
It is happening in both SL2 and 360. We are working in both at the moment, though as of yesterday everyone now has a 360 licence so we should all be starting to work in that now.
The files are not saved to the hard drive, we have a separate drive specifically for saving all our work which gets backed up. Is that the only way to resolve this? To work from our local drive? We are not supposed to do that due to many of us working on the same projects and the issues it creates with version control etc.
Thanks for those details, Helen. It sounds like you have a team that collaborates on lots of projects. With Rise, you can easily collaborate on the same project with the Teams Collaborator feature.
Collaboration in Storyline works differently, however. Because your files are most protected when saved directly to your C: drive, it is recommended that you copy the file down to your local drive, edit and save locally, and then copy it back to your shared location. In your situation, this would mean foregoing having multiple people working on the same project from a shared drive. Doing so makes your project vulnerable to corruption or other weird behavior due to network latency.
Here are some ideas:
- Can you use the Team Slides feature? You can create a library of shared team templates to help with branding and design control. Unconventionally, you could even store your common images and other assets on slides in the team library for teammates to use.
- What if each person worked on a separate .story file, and when edits were nearing completion, they were combined into a single master file? I'm making the assumption that different people are authoring different sections.
Hoping we can help you be successful with your projects and get you into the most comfortably collaborative situation we can!
