I made changes to my course and tried to publish to review but I keep getting "Something went wrong: There was an error publishing your course. Please try again." I've published this course for review previously, and its been fine. If I duplicate the course I still cant publish it to review. if I duplicate older courses I cant publish them to review. I cant Publish to LMS either. Does this mean there is an issue with the course its self? if I delete all the lesson pages I can publish the course, is there a size limit I've reached? how can I check this? I've used some jpegs with _NOPROCESS_ at the end but also a lot of .svg files.

We were also unable to publish our course on Review. So we found the buggy element: We made a copy of the course for testing purposes, deleted one chapter at a time and tried to upload the course after each deleted chapter. When the error message finally disappeared the first time, we knew we had found the buggy chapter. In our case, it was the third one. After that we did the same with all the elements of that chapter: delete one block - try to publish - error still there? Delete the next block - try to publish ... Until publishing is possible. This way we found out that there was a block with an attachment, but the attachment was empty. After we deleted this empty block, publishing was possible. We replaced this block in the original course and now everything works fine!

I had an empty placeholder for a document attachment. I uploaded something to it and was then able to publish. But this only recently became a problem - I'd been publishing for weeks with the placeholder there.

I have the exact same problem... Is it a bug or is there something wrong with the course ?

My colleague just had this same problem. She found out that some of the new features (images as backgrounds and so on) were causing this on her new courses. She removed those, and it worked again. All those were working yesterday just fine, so this might something that will get fixed soon back to normal. I'm not sure if this limited to those newer features, or if there are more elements that are currently broken.

This was taken from a historic post similar to our problem - maybe it's helpful for some of you? "We have an issue with exporting courses that contain an asset with the % symbol in the file name. That could include an image, a PDF, or another piece of media. We're working on a fix, and I'll let you know when it's out!" I won't be making any wholesale changes to my content at the minute. I'm gonna ride this one out and trust the techies to come up with a fix...

I also have this exact same problem. A small course with half the content won't publish - but the longer courses with the same content, will publish. The only difference is a few embedded google forms - clearly this is a bug affecting more than one person if the above comments are anything to go by?

  My engineer mentioned to me that MS is identifying some of the files as Malware

I'm having the same issue. I published my course for Review on Monday, made a few client edits and tried to publish last night and got the message "Something went wrong: There was an error publishing your course. Please try again." I tried again this morning.

I tried this with 2 courses. One was published to Review OK, the other got the same error you guys are reporting...

And my colleagues problems just returned, but she was able to get one review published.

I have not come across with some of my old content, so it might be some spesific elements that are currently broken. And perhaps the "what is currently broken" keeps changing on us as we speak.

Same for me, I tried with old projects and I am unable to publish them to review anymore. They don't use any of the new features.

Thanks everyone! I'll wait for the Articulate Rise techies to respond too. Hopefully they'll let us know soon that it's fixed.
