What do you use for storyline file Version control tools? Git?
you used shareponit to engage a pessimistic lock? I've heard source control through sharepoint is horrendous and doesn't work well.
If I and my team were doing actual app development, then I'd want something a whole lot more robust than SharePoint. When I was writing ASP/VBScript which tied into a SQL back-end, then yeah, TortoiseSVN committing to Apache was the way to go. That was also better than 15 years ago.
eLearning development in Storyline is not app development. SharePoint is quite a bit better than it was 15 years ago. And good technology will not solve for poor or non-existent processes and procedures.
I beg to differ a bit. Years ago when I worked in software development, you had to check out a file to work on it. So if you went to work a file, and it was already checked out, you could not edit it. This ensured multiple people were not working on the same file at the same time. And if they did need to, they would talk to each other about it. No one is going to jump up every 10 minutes and announce that they need to make a quick fix to a file they just realized affected a different project. Source control is not a perfect solution, but it would go a long way and should be able to be a part of a technical/automated solution.
