Revert from responsive to non-responsive

[ruthg84]

Hi,

I am trying out the responsive design to see if my company wants to use it. I am still making edits to the project in the responsive version. I am just wondering now if there is a way to revert to non-responsive if we decide the responsive version is too much work in the end?

CP2017 only allows changing a non-responsive to a responsive project, not the reverse.

To answer your question, there is actually a way to make it happen. But the development team hasn't (yet) created a way.

The way you would do it would be to either:

1. Create a new project, then carefully copy the assets and elements from one project to the other.

or

2. Play the Responsive project, then use Captivate to record it as it is playing.

Cheers... Rick

What will happen when fluid boxes are used in the responsive project, Rick?

In versions before CP2017 you could easily copy the desktop version to a non-responsive project, but I really don't know what will happen with the new fluid boxes. It is a totally different approach from the former breakpoint views.

I'm surprised you don't have a blog post that tells us what will happen with fluid boxes!

My point was to try and and be helpful by answering the question the best way I knew how to answer it. Not just to simply advise that because it wasn't built in, that it couldn't be accomplished.

Cheers... Rick

Sure, this was helpfu but I was just wondering what would happen with fluid boxes. There are a lot of experts around who did write blog  posts about them, why should I have to do it? Maybe you could know what the conversion would lead to with fluid boxes?

As you said you were aware of many other blog posts dealing with the new fluid boxy thingy, perhaps you might be helpful and post them here for us instead of making us go try and figure out where they might be?

They are all in the eLearning community, click on the link on top of this forum, main space.

None of them however tells if it is possible to use the old work flow to convert a responsive project to a non-responsive project is still valid when fluid boxes have been used.

The project does not really 'play', it's more like a slideshow, with pause buttons on each slide. But thanks! I'm trying to copy and paste the slides over, it seems to be working so far.
