Specifying publish strings preferences

You can customize the text used in the Publisher runtime and share your string set changes with your organization. Customize the text displayed within the Test Results window and some program buttons. For example, you can change the FAILED text message, which is displayed within test results to students with a non-passing test score, to more sensitive terminology. Publish strings can also be changed here if you are producing content written in a language other than English. Additionally, you can share, translate, and change publish strings sets using a text editor and import them back into the Publisher.

Select from previous custom publish string sets or create a new string set. Export your string sets to the Shared Publish String Set folder for your organization to use or import a string set from the shared folder or from your computer. You can also delete string sets.
