Test your published content in its intended environment. If you view published content on your local computer, you'll encounter security restrictions related to your web browser and Adobe Flash Player that may cause various features to fail. To avoid these local security restrictions, view your content in the environment for which it was published:
- Web: Upload your presentation to a web server and view the content with a valid http address.
- LMS: Upload your presentation to your LMS, then login as an end-user and view the course.
- Articulate Online: Upload your presentation to your Articulate Online account.
- Offline: If you'll be distributing your content offline, publish for CD.
