Hiding Slides

Mar 01, 2013

Hello,

I'm wondering if there's a way to hide a slide so that when I publish my course, the slide will not be published. I don't want to delete the slide because I'm still working on things, but I'd like to not include it in any rough versions of the course that I show to my colleagues.

Thanks,
Catharine

Hi Catharine, and welcome to the Community.

Once way is just to take a copy of the Scene, and just have it out at the side of the Story View, not in the course - like a "Staging Area"

That way you can keep the slide, but it is not in your course for viewing when you publish.

Hope that helps - once again a warm welcome.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your response!

Let me just make sure I understand your technique. If I copy the slide or scene and then make sure the copy of the slide or scene is not linked to the first scene in my course in Story View, then the copied scene will not be included when I publish the course?

Thanks for your help!

That's the bunny! 

See attached.

Slides in course + Navigation Slide triggered by Tab.

Also - a "hidden" scene - make sure it has no links to anything.

I often use this technique as a repository to store graphics, or Production Notes, or more normally, I bring in PowerPoint slides than only use them for inspiration on a custom build.

Hope that clarifies.
