I want to send out short projects (toolbox talks) but don’t want these projects to be available for long. Is this possible, and if so, how can I achieve it.
This is a standard feature of Captivate (sorry for swearing ), and I so miss not having this feature, now that I’ve transitioned fully over to ActivePresenter.
Adding one thing from the hosting side, since a date check inside the HTML5 output can be bypassed by anyone who changes their computer clock or saves the files locally.
If you host the published folder on your own web server, the most reliable way is to expire it there. You can put each toolbox talk in its own folder and simply remove it (or swap the index.html for a short “this training has ended” page) on the expiry date, or use a time-limited signed link if your host or CDN supports it. Then nobody can open it after the date, no matter what the local clock says.
If you deliver through an LMS instead, most of them (Moodle, for example) let you set an “available until” date on the activity, which does the same job without touching the project.
