Rise-embedded pdf links not updating in Storyline
Hi! I have a Rise course published to Review with PDFs embedded in it. A Storyline course links to these PDF URLs. When I update or replace a PDF in the Rise course, should it automatically update in...
Hi ZuzanaUrbanek,
Great question! When you embed a PDF in Rise and link to it from Storyline, it won’t automatically update if you replace the file in Rise. Each embedded file gets its own unique link, so if the URL changes, Storyline will still point to the old one.
The only time it updates automatically is if the PDF’s URL stays the same, like when it’s hosted externally and you overwrite the file at that same link. Otherwise, republishing Rise and updating the link in Storyline is the best approach.
I’ve shared your feedback with our product team since automatic updates would definitely make this easier.
