How to create a new project without closing the one that's currently open?
Hello Articulate Developers,
My question is simple: How can I create a new project without closing the one that's currently open?
What happens now:
A project is open
I click on Fi...
Jeroen,
So basically, you always have to open Articulate Storyline with the Articulate 360 app, and keep this app open.
No, not necessarily. You can open SL the way you open any app. I almost never use the method Ron showed you. The key is that to have two projects open at the same time, you have to run two SL two separate instances (start it twice, and have two copies of it running concurrently.)
By the way, if your reason for having two projects open concurrently is so that you can copy material from one to the other, you will sooner or later be sorry you did. Copying from one to the other will at some unpredictable point in the future cause corruption to something in the project. To be safe, import from one project to the other, and delete extraneous material if you need to.
The reason was that I wanted to export one slide from a storyline project. Storyline can export one slide, but when you do that, you get the exported files and not the story file. I only wanted the story file to share it here on the forum. The only way I know how this can be done, is coping the content of the slide to a new project and save that project.
When you click on New in Storyline it should create a new project, without closing the current one, as all programs do. The fact it doesn't means it is a (UX) bug.
