Preview Studio 360 & Quizmaker 360 Word output - not working

Okay,

Seems that I was able to resolve Point 2 simply by repairing my Windows installation.

Have a good Easter time : )

Best regards

Hey Sam! Thanks for letting us know you solved Point 2. Let's look closer at Points 1 & 3. 

Point 1: Are you previewing the entire presentation, or just a few slides? What happens when you preview--do you see a spinning loading wheel?

Point 3: Do you have a "submit" button to click after selecting an answer? 

Dear Alyssa,
Thank you for asking.

Point 1: I just want to preview 3 slides. I see the loading bar while the slides are "prepared" but when they are "ready" I see a blanc screen, optionally embedded in a stylized mobile device, depending on the view I choose.
I think the conversion generally works, but having the preview is helpful and can save a lot of time.

Point 3: No, I don't get the submit button. I think the quiz works if it's embedded within a course but here also, the benefit of a preview would help before I convert the whole training.

Best regards
Sam

Thanks, Sam, for the answers.  You should be able to see your slide content in the Preview.  Would you be able to attach your Articulate Package to this discussion for me to test?  I'd like to see what happens on my end.

Regarding your quiz, can you confirm how your users should submit their answers?  They can submit them as they go (with the submit button on the Player) or all at once (by using the Next and Prev buttons to navigate between questions.

One thing to check: By default, Quizmaker requires learners to scroll to the end of lengthy questions before submitting their answers, but you can turn this feature off by unchecking the box to Require user to scroll to bottom on longer questions.

You can attach your .quiz file here separately, and I can run some testing on it as well.  Thanks!

Dear Crystal,

Thanks for your answer. I’m sorry, I can’t share any customer files due to confidentiality issues.

Point 1 - Studio 360
I did the most obvious, being to uninstall and reinstall studio 360.
I also created a simple PowerPoint file with 3 empty default slides only containing blue vector boxes to test the preview functionality again with an uncorrupted file. This worked on my secondary machine but still doesn’t work on my primary device.
I just don’t understand why the preview functionality works on my secondary, but not on my primary machine, if I use the same procedure on both, the setup probably being pretty much the same? Is it a Flash issue (I guess not, as at least HTML5 should work), an antivirus issue (I guess then it wouldn’t work on the secondary machine either), a need to repair any windows applications (I remember that repairing “Word” solved Point 2) …? What am I overseeing here?
From experience, I wonder if I would face the same problems using iSpring.

Point 3 - Quizmaker 360
I have been trying around with the quiz maker on my secondary machine (as the preview also doesn’t work for quizmaker on the primary one) and I deactivated the “Require user to scroll to bottom on longer questions”. Sadly, this did not help.
I also tried to see what happens if I change the screen behavior in the player (as I remember this having a substantial influence on the displayed font in some cases) but this did not solve the problem either.
Interestingly, if I view the quiz in preview mode (which works on my secondary backup device) and switch to a mobile device view, I get a check mark or a submit button. Its only in the computer view, that I don’t get any possibility to move on in a standalone quiz file.

Best regards and a good weekend

I'm sorry you're going through the rigors of troubleshooting.  I've opened a case for our support engineers to give you some expert help (1336469).

You should see a confirmation email in your inbox, and a more direct email from one of our engineers soon!

Dear Community,

the problem with the "slide preview" not working in Studio 360 is still there on one of my machines. I could not resolve it even after x repairs and reinstallations of Articulate 360 and Studio 360. I did not want to send customer files as the European laws are very strict regarding data security. Yet, this problem only appears on one of my three machines. Could it be a hardware issue? I tried so many things like repairing PowerPoint and also the deactivation the “Click-to-Run” option after learning that this can cause problems. Nothing worked. Still… if anyone faces the same problem “Slide preview” not working in Studio 360, I’D be very happy if you could tell me if you found a solution.

Best regards

I'm really sorry to hear that, Samuel.  I was hoping our support engineers could get to the bottom of it.  If you're still interested, it looks like Victor reached out to you with an invitation.  Feel free to reply back to his email of June 15.

Community members - if anyone has experienced a similar, machine-specific problem like what Samuel is seeing, please let us know!

Hi. Has this been resolved and how?

Hi Princess,

I haven't heard of other reports similar to Samuel's issue, so it was likely specific to his machine or install of Studio. You can always start by ensuring you meet the system requirements outlined here to run the software and then look at repairing Studio.
