This template features a custom menu slide that unlocks each section of your course one at a time, making sure learners view your content in the order you’ve defined. It’s great for projects where you need to ensure learners don’t skip over any important content—in compliance courses, for example.

Explore this template.

This template will work for folks using Storyline 360, the continuously updated version of Storyline included in Articulate 360. Want to try it out? Get a free trial of Articulate 360 right here.

    Hi Allison, This is awesome - will be replacing my current (convoluted) design with this clean, clear functionality in several existing courses. Thank you for sharing!

      Hi Maria!
      I created this course with Storyline 360. You can try opening it up with Storyline 3 and see if it works. If it doesn't work, you'll get an error message telling you which features it includes that aren't available in Storyline 3.

        Thanks Allison! I opened it up in Storyline 3 and it works for me. I appreciate it.

    Hello Guys. I am new here. I know how to use Rise 360 but not at all Storyline. Where should I start? Where is the "first lesson" :-) Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi Allison! Wonderful and very useful course here. Thanks for sharing. I just need a bit of help because when the first section has been viewed, the second section in the menu turns to a blank button - with no "section 2" text. How do I place a text there? Thanks.

      Hi Jeanne!
      You should be able to just click on the rectangle and write your text in there. If that's not working, I would see if the text is in the state.

    Allison, first thank you for this. You saved my bacon on a time sensitive build, and this fits the bill perfectly. I have one question I cannot figure out. When the user comes back to the landing page and the next button unlocks, it keeps reverting back to your choice of font and naming convention. I am fully on the struggle bus trying to get it to stop doing that. Any help you could offer would be AMAZING. I would even be happy to share with you what I morphed your clean beauty into for the Tire Industry :)

      Hi Quentin,
      Did you update the button states? That could be what's happening. Click on the buttons, open the States menu (below the slide, the tab next to the Timeline tab).

      Let me know if that does the trick! And I would LOVE to see your version when you're done :)

    Allison, I have been using this software for nearly 4 years and I never went into that section before. Thank you, you taught me something today that I will use over and over again.

    Tell me how to share it with you and I gladly will. We don't use a scorm cloud at my company, so I have only our internal LMS to post a scorm to.

      You're welcome! :) So glad I helped you learn something new. :) If you have Articulate 360 you could publish it to Review 360 and share the link.

      Thanks for sharing! Always great to see our templates "out in the wild" :)

      A couple quick suggestions to make this even better:
      - I would get rid of the menu sidebar since this is a branched course. It might be confusing for people.
      - I would change the green to blue to match the rest of the color scheme.

      I hope that's helpful! Good luck with this :)
