Recent File List
There are situations where people store files in 2 different locations (same name) in order to have a backup. When you hover the pointer over the file in the Recent File List, why doesn't it show the file path of that file so you know which one the line entry refers to?

I just checked my computer, and I see what you are taking about. I think this might be a computer issue not an Articulate issue. I would have your IT people check it.

Which part do you think may be a computer issue? You mean it is supposed to display the path? Because I have files right on my hard drive (C:) that it is not displaying the path.

Bill,
I work off 2 computers at times. by using a OneDrive, Shared drive, and a stand-alone hard drive I'm able to transfer files.

- Do "Save As," but add a version date to the file name.
- Never do "Save As." Instead, copy the file, and then paste it in the backup location. Or duplicate the file, and move that copy to the backup location.
