SCORM customization to remove slide?

Hi lorraineS​ it is not possible to update the text in Storyline without using the source file and re-publishing. The reason is that when published, various calculations are made regarding the length of the line of text and space it accommodates. This is added to the published output so that the browser renders the slide accurately.

The text you are looking at in a Storyline course running in a browser is an SVG rendering (image) of the slide text. There is then another version of the text that you cannot see which is available for assistive technology.

You will find that if you edit the text that is associated with the SVG rendering, it will affect how the text renders and you are likely to have overlapped characters, too much spacing and other weirdness going on. The reason being, the project is expecting a different line length and characters.

Images are simpler, as you can just find the image and swap out with a new one as long as you use the same image name, format and aspect ratio.

I think what I'm saying is, it's not worth it. It's best to keep the Storyline author file up-to-date with the latest changes and publish from there.
