Review SCORM publish settings after published

Is there a way to look at a published SCORM package after the fact to determine which settings were selected when published? 

In this instance I'm specifically wondering what tracking settings were selected when the package was published. But I'm a SCORM newbie and would be happy to learn about anything that can be gleaned from the published files after the fact.

Same could be said for other formats - I'm equally curious about how you could verify this for xAPI packages.

    Hi Caitlin,

    Here's how you can check what publishing settings were used to publish an existing Storyline 360 course. 

    1. In the published output, open the html5 folder; open the data folder; open the js folder. 
    2. Open the data.js file in a text editor, such as Notepad++.
    3. Search for threshold.

    In the line of code where "threshold" appears, you'll see the tracking type, passing score, slide view threshold, pass status, and fail status.

    Type = Tracking Method

    • If type = view, the course is tracked by the number of slides viewed.
    • If type = quiz, the course is tracked by a quiz result slide.
    • If type = action, the course is tracked by a completion trigger.

    Tracking Details

    • The passPercent value only applies if the type = quiz.This is the score required to pass the quiz.
    • The viewThreshold value only applies if the type = view. This is the number of slides the learner must view to complete the course.
    • Tracking Details
    • The passStatus and failStatus values tell you which reporting options the author selected.

    Let me know if you have any questions!

    Do you not have access to the original, editable Rise course to check these settings?

      hi! I do, but my understanding was that if I'm looking within publish, that's showing me the default settings that are able to be modified prior to publishing. Does this retain the last published settings? that would make life easy :)

        I'm also wondering then if it does retain the last published settings, and there was a need to see historically what had been published, if there were multiple versions, how could those settings be verified? For example, you first published SCORM, but then published xAPI: if you wanted to see what the prior SCORM settings were, how can that be accessed?

    If you have your old SCORM exported packages you can look at those and possibly see what settings were used to build those particular exports.

      thanks. that's what I was hoping to get details on. I'm not very familiar with the contents of export packages and hoped someone in the community could shed light on it.

    Also, if you need the actual LMSStandards version settings that were used when the package was exported, you can open /lms/scormdriver.js and look for 

    strLMSStandard

    it will say something like

    var strLMSStandard = "SCORM";
