We’re committed to delivering you more value, more often—which is why we’re excited to introduce Articulate’s new beta program! Here’s what you need to know.

What Is It?

The beta program gives you—our customers—the chance to explore and offer feedback on experimental features across Articulate 360 apps. That way, you can help shape and enhance these features to truly fit your needs.

How Do I Participate?

If you have an Articulate 360 account, you’re automatically included in this new program! We’ll add beta features to our apps during updates and mark them with a Beta badge. From there, simply try them out and give us feedback via in-app surveys or in our E-Learning Heroes community. 

If you’ve been paying close attention, you might have noticed that we already have a few beta features:

Note that since features in beta are still evolving, they’re subject to changes in scope, pricing, and packaging, or discontinuation.

Wrap-Up

With incremental value, delivered more frequently—and with your helpful feedback—we hope to build products that meet your needs.

Want to see how your voice can make a difference? Check out this update we’re releasing based on customer feedback: 11 New Articulate 360 Features To Celebrate.

And if you’re not an Articulate 360 subscriber, you can start a free 30-day trial for access to the beta program.

  • This is truly exciting! I can hardly wait to discover the new offerings that will be available. If I may take a brief moment to digress from the current topic, I would like to express my sincere desire for the option to download Storyline 360 on Mac devices. Your consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated.
  • How long will you have the beta features? Do you have a planned timeline, Articulate team? :)

      This will be an ongoing program - we will continue to release Beta features that require additional validation and customer feedback to make sure we are building the right things. Features will stay in beta until we're confident they fit customer needs and appropriate adjustments have been made to reach this point. This could mean a couple weeks or several months. We don't expect things to be in Beta for many months or years, but can't give exact timelines as each feature will be different. In some rare cases, it might be clear that the feature doesn't fit and needs to be removed from the product.

    Interesting,

    So, let me see if I have this correct. Feature requests, which are still, after 5 years, are still waiting to be prioritised, have not been looked at and are shelved in favour of feedback that is already available in the forums.

    I'm sorry, but this seems like a waste of money and time to me.

    Was this a serious consideration by management or a lucky dip?

      Scraping feedback from forums is not as easy as it sounds given how much feedback there is to sift through and the mix of topics covered in one post. Surveys tend to allow for more focused data collection while keeping responses confidential.

        My guess is your not familiar with forum feedback. Each thread has a topic. Most of the topics state the problem in the subject and following is a list of requests from many other Articulate uses who also would like the feature.
        Also its not that difficult to get an AI to do the search and summarising for you.
        So, Pano, unfortunately your answer is not addressing the issue here. its actually side stepping it, but thanks for the input.
