have a little query about Engage and hyper linking. I'm using the tabbed engage feature to break down the different layers of the eye and basically for each tab that the user goes into i want them to be able to navigate via a hyper link from that specific tab, to a presenter power point slide. Which will then have animations and break down that part of the eye. Once that has been completed, i need the user to be able to navigate back into the engage tab feature via hyper link. First of all, is that even possible and if not what is the best way to achieve this effect?
This blog is awesome and just by skimming through you can link back to the engage but not to s specific part with in engage (so your just basically jumping back to the engage slide).
Hi...I am having troubles hyperlinking words in a PowerPoint to the Engage Glossary. When I hyperlink outside of the Presenter preview it opens the Engage Glossary. However, when I test it in the preview the link will not work. Any suggestions?
Sounds like the issue here is that testing hyperlinks in Preview is not supported. You will need to Publish your presentation for proper testing. Also, be sure to test your content in its intended environment: Web server, LMS, Articulate Online, or CD. If you are testing your content locally, publish for CD.
Hyperlinks you include in PowerPoint will be respected in your published output. However, not all hyperlink options are supported in Presenter. For more details, see here.
Thank you...however, I am wrong in thinking that I should only publish once my design is complete? I would like to know if this will work prior to testing it in SCORM or the LMS.
It's important to test your published content frequently to ensure it'll behave properly once delivered to its final destination. To properly test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment for which it was published. Please review this article for details.

However, I don't recall seeing information on how to link from PowerPoint to Engage.
Thanks Brian,
