I'm not sure if this is an Articulate issue, or something from Plateau/Success Factors, but here goes.
I'm publishing my Articulate 2013 course in SCORM 2004 v2 for deployment on our Plateau LMS....
I can't see the previous threads, but we have the same setup (Rise, SF), and this is the code we input into the manifest file. It works consistently for us to totally remove the buttons and ensure there is not an upload error.
