How do I open the sample course?

Choose Open sample course on the start screen or in File. It opens a ten-slide course you can explore and change freely.

Last updated

Xogogy comes with a built-in sample course, A healthier desk setup. It has ten slides with images, widgets, a layer, a variable, a cue point, a three-question quiz and a results slide, which makes it a safe place to try every part of the editor.

Open it

  1. #

    Start Xogogy. On the start screen, choose Open sample course. If a course is already open, choose File › Open sample course.

  2. #

    The course opens with its first slide on the stage. Its header shows 0 findings, because it was made in Xogogy and nothing needed converting.

  3. #

    Choose Preview at the right of the ribbon tab row to play it the way a learner will.

Keep your changes

The sample opens in memory, so your changes last only for this session until you save them to a folder.

  1. #

    Choose Save in the header, or press Ctrl+S.

  2. #

    A save dialog opens in the Documents › Course Studio folder, with A healthier desk setup as the name. Change the name if you like, and choose Save.

  3. #

    Xogogy makes a course folder with that name. If the name is taken, it uses A healthier desk setup (2) and says so.

  4. #

    From now on, Save writes to that folder, and you can reopen it with Open project or by double-clicking its .xogogy file.

Tip: If you cancel the save dialog, Xogogy says Kept in memory for this session only and keeps the • Unsaved mark, so you can save later.

  • How do I find my way around the editor?The header holds save state and Undo, the ribbon holds commands, Slides is on the left, the stage in the middle and the Inspector on the right.
  • How do I save and reopen my project?Press Ctrl+S or choose Save; the first save makes a course folder in Documents. Reopen it with one click under Recent projects, with File › Open project, or from its .xogogy file.
  • How do I preview my course?Choose Preview at the right of the ribbon tab row to play the whole course, or open Preview options to start from this slide, this section or one slide.
  • How do I start a new course?Choose New course…, enter a title, pick a course type (Fixed slides or Scrolling page) and a slide size, and choose Create course. Your first Save makes its course folder.
