Linking or Embedding to a Spreadsheet
We are trying to link or embed a spreadsheet and started testing with an excel file through Office 365. Sometimes embedded file will open within Storyline and sometimes it requires the player to log...
I should add that server-side applications (like your Storyline course) can generate and serve files to be downloaded by the user, but the process of saving or editing files on the client device always requires user interaction.
Browsers run web pages in a sandboxed environment, meaning that web pages cannot directly access the client’s file system. This is a fundamental security feature to prevent malicious websites from modifying or accessing files on a user’s device without permission.
Any file creation or modification on the client side requires explicit user consent. For instance, if a web app wants to save a file to the user’s device, the user must actively click a download link or use a save dialog.
