    Sorry Rod,

    I have logged out and back in and still get the message

    OK.  Well that's weird but not impossible for these forums.

    Here is the information pasted from that other thread.

    Q. Can I upload Captivate output to SharePoint – where SharePoint is being used as our intranet?

    A. Yes!

    While there are articles on the web about using Flash output (SWF) in SharePoint, this note assumes HTML5 output from Captivate.

    1. Publish your HTML5 output from Captivate to a local folder
    2. Rename index.html to something like project_name.aspx (make sure you are editing the extension – so you don’t get project_name.apsx.html) – We are doing this so that SharePoint(and the IIS web server) will know this is content to display – a web page, not a text file to open like a word document.
    3. Open the top level folder in windows explorer (we will copy the web page and supporting folders form this in a moment)
    4. In the destination document library in SharePoint create a folder for this project (see the File Tab on the ribbon for the new folder tool)
    5. Open the new folder
    6. From the ribbon in SharePoint select Files Tab and then Explorer view
    7. Copy all the content including sub folders from the local folder to the SharePoint explorer window
    8. Then you can link to the project_name.aspx file from a SharePoint web or wiki page
    9. Tested on SharePoint 2013 – should work on SharePoint 2010

    SharePoint Online (cloud-based) is not the same as SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint 2010 (server-based).  I was able to upload my published captivate files into 2010 and 2013.  Since we moved to SharePoint Online (as part of Office 365) and are no longer using SharePoint server, my files do not open in a browser but open the download file dialog.  I cannot run my training courses in our SharePoint environment any longer.

    Has anyone found a work around?

    I don't think you can change the index.html file type. I believe you would need to link to or reference the index.html, because of the javascript and jquery in the "assets" folder that is create when the HTML5 content is rendered. All of the HTML5 content needs to be hosted in the same folder.

    I'm also having the same problem with the spinning wheel. Any ideas why the content loads but doesn't display?

    Thanks in advance!

    Are you talking about loading the CPTX project file to Sharepoint to backup the project file?  Or are you talking about loading the HTM/SWF or HTML5 output to Sharepoint to deliver the content to end users?

    Is there a work-around for SharePoint Online (part of Office 365) in the cloud?
