Working with exercises: importing/exporting/sharing/organising

Goal

After reading this article you'll:

be able to export and import an exercise using a library file or a scenario file.
be able to share a library/scenario file.
be able to organise libraries into folders.

Summary

Exercises are saved and organised into libraries. Libraries contain everything needed for the scenarios inside: media assets, personas, styles, and so on.

Different versions of the same exercise can live in the same library and share the same assets.

For completely new exercises you should create a new library.

When you want to share your exercise, you can save the whole library of scenarios or just one scenario.

Create a new exercise

	First, you may need to add a new library. Navigate to the Folder Icon > select the Library drop-down > Add new library.
	Add a name for the new exercise library
	Every library has a default scenario. You can right-click to rename it or click Add scenario to add an additional exercise to this library so that it can share the library's assets.
	After clicking 'Add scenario' you will be presented with the scenario dialog box. Usually you only need to enter the scenario name. Import MEL allows you to import from an Excel file or CSV (UTF-8 encoding).

Share an exercise

Navigate to the folder icon > Share library/scenario

Now select how much you want to share - the whole library or just the active scenario.

Import an exercise

You can import a library or a single exercise. A single exercise needs to be imported into a library - so you will likely need to create a new empty library to hold it. If you're importing a more recent revision of an existing scenario then you'll likely add to the same library.

	Navigate to the folder icon > select the Library drop-down> Add new library.
	Click "Browse" on the pop-up dialog and find the .txp library file
	Library files have the extension .txplib Files with the .txp extension are older first generation files.
	If you're importing a single scenario, you'll find the option in File>Scenario drop-down. Create a new, empty library if this is a new scenario.
