Each time a simulation is published a new set of files are created and saved separately from the authoring files. Stages are saved as Windows Media Video files (.wmv files) and used for presenting the simulation. Publishing does not delete or “lock down” your authoring files for that simulation – they remain available for future editing. These files can be played independent from the StageIT application with Windows Media Player. You can also import these files into your PowerPoint presentations as shown above.

This allows a great deal of flexibility in working with simulations. If, after publishing, you find you want to add to, change or otherwise edit the simulation – you can. Open the authoring file, make the needed changes and publish again as a different version of the simulation.

A basic simulation can be added to over time to become more complex and involved.  You can even copy completed stages from one simulation to be used in another.
