Export content as SCORM 1.2

Organizations can now download and take their proprietary content with them to post on extranet sites or external systems.

To export content, on the landing page, click Export to download the course in SCORM 1.2.

Note: Only published courses that are not duplicated from a Grovo course are available to export. All other courses are greyed out.
