Engage 360: Publishing a Standalone Interaction to Review 360

Publish your interaction to Review 360 to collect feedback from stakeholders and track version history. It’s a great way to collaborate on a project before distributing the finalized interaction to learners.

1. Choose to Publish a New Item or Update an Existing Item
2. Change the Interaction Thumbnail Image
3. Adjust the Player Settings and Interaction Properties
4. Publish
5. Distribute Your Published Interaction

Step 1: Choose to Publish a New Item or Update an Existing Item

1. Click Publish on the Engage ribbon.
2. When the Publish window appears, select the Review 360 tab on the left. (If you have an Articulate 360 tab instead of Review 360, update Studio 360 to see all the latest enhancements. We changed the name to Review 360 on January 23, 2019.)
   
   
3. Choose to publish a new item or update an existing item:
   • Create a new item: Mark this option to publish a brand new content item to Review 360, then give it a title. (The title defaults to the name of your project file. Changing the title here won't affect the name of your project file.) Note that the title on the player will display up to 80 characters.
   • Publish a new version of an existing item: Mark this option to update an existing content item located in your personal or team folder in Review 360, then select the item you want to update. (Review 360 keeps track of version history, so you can still view previously-published versions of the content item.)

Step 2 (Optional): Change the Interaction Thumbnail Image

By default, Engage uses an image representing the type of interaction you’re building as the thumbnail image on your Review 360 home page, but you can choose a different image.

1. Temporarily switch to the Web tab on the left side of the Publish window.
2. Click the ellipsis button (...) beside the Title field to open the Project Info window.
3. Click the hyperlinked text below the default image, click Picture from File, and choose an image on your hard drive.
4. Click OK to close the Project Info window.
5. Switch back to the Review 360 tab on the left side of the Publish window to finish the publishing process.

Step 3: Adjust the Player Settings and Interaction Properties

Use the Properties section of the Publish window to make last-minute changes to your player, quality settings, theme colors, and playback mode.

Player	This property shows the name of the player currently assigned to your project. (The player is the interface learners see around the perimeter of your interaction.) To make adjustments to your player, click the player name to open the player editor.
Quality	This property controls the compression settings for audio clips, videos, and JPG images in your interaction. The quality settings default to whatever you used the last time you published an interaction. To change them, click the quality property and make your adjustments.
Theme Colors	This property shows the name of the theme currently applied to your project. To switch to a different theme, click the current theme and choose another one.
Playback Mode	This property controls how learners navigate through your interaction. To change the playback mode, click the current mode and choose a different option.

Step 4: Publish

When you're finished making selections, click the Publish button.

Your content gets published and uploaded to Review 360 all at once. How fast this happens depends on the size of your interaction and your internet speed.

When the Publish Successful window appears, click View Interaction to open Review 360 in your default browser and manage the interaction you just uploaded.

Step 5: Distribute Your Published Interaction

To give viewers access to your published interaction:

1. Open your web browser to your Review 360 home page and click your interaction to open it.
2. Click Share in the upper right corner.
3. If you want to password-protect your interaction, mark the box to Set a password and enter a password in the field provided.
4. Copy the shareable link, then send it to your viewers. Be sure to give them the password, too, if you added one.

If you don’t want viewers to post comments on your interaction, click the ellipsis (...) button in the upper right corner and choose Disable comments.

Note: Although share links are public, we prevent search engines from indexing our site so they won’t be searchable. However, if you post these links on a public web page, they may be indexed by a search engine. To protect confidential information, set a password or limit access to specific users.
