What is the project.json file for?

[cmay1]

When publishing to HTML5 in Captivate 8, a project.json file is created along with all the other files. Is this file needed to work? What is it for? I ask because I cannot load a .json file onto a Sharepoint site.

Thanks

I don't think you'll have any problems deleting it. I do.

There is no reference to it in any of the code.

Cap 8 creates the projects.json file, Cap 9 writes it out as project.txt. Either way the contents are the same - JSON objects representing meta-data information on your course. Maybe there are some LMS that need it but the general thought seems to be that you can probably do without it. However if your imsmanifest.xml file lists it and you delete the file your manifest may then throw an error. So if you do remove the file make sure to update your imsmanifest and remove the entry for it there as well.

Alternatively, try renaming the file to project.txt and update the imsmanifest entry accordingly.
