Articulate hit an important milestone recently that we wanted to share with you—we've hit our 100th month of Storyline releases 🎉 That means that for 100 months running, we’ve shipped updates to our products, from small UI enhancements and bug fixes to big, net-new features like text-to-speech and 360 degree images.

(You can check out our entire release history, including the features in our 100th release, here).

This community is an absolutely crucial part of how we got here, and we wanted to celebrate with you. Our team put together this video we wanted to share celebrating this shared achievement:

You’ve generously shared your kind words about Articulate, and how it supports your work in the E-Learning industry, for us to include in this video. But, we wanted to make sure to also tell you how much we love you. Here’s what our product team had to say about how working with this community supported these releases:

 

"It has been a true pleasure collaborating with our customers through the private beta program over the past seven years. I am continually impressed by the innovative ways they leverage Storyline! Assisting them in overcoming project challenges has significantly enhanced my own understanding of the product, and I am thankful for the opportunity to partner with them in improving our features for all users. I would especially like to acknowledge​​ AndreasNeuberg​, PhilMayor​, GaryBaldock1​, TracyParish​, and many others for their active participation in our Beta program."

- Vanessa Fage, Staff QA Engineer & Quality Lead

 

“For years, our customers have been instrumental in shaping accessibility, from helping refine the Accessible Player to influencing new features like the Accessibility Checker in Storyline 360. Through user research, early access testing, beta testing, and feedback, you've helped ensure a smoother experience for creating accessible content. A heartfelt thank you to all our customers who shared their insights, with special recognition to DianeElkins​, MelanieSobie-14​, DonnaWestwood​, MartinBrown-1ab​, RayeShilen​, LoicBENARD​, MadalinaMano183​, AndreasNeuberg​, and many others!”

- Ronnie Pilman, CPACC, Senior QA Engineer II & Accessibility Lead

 

“Recently we’ve been inviting customers to get early access to new features, and it’s been incredibly valuable to hear your feedback earlier and more often throughout the development process. Your input has directly shaped how these features look and function, helping us build features that truly meet your needs. A big thank you to all who participated—especially GregoryFauchill​, jeff-batt​, MathNotermans-9​, PhilMayor​, rachelatkaiser​, and HarriS​ for their active participation & feedback on the new JavaScript API & corner radius feature.”

- Annie Kim, Storyline Product Manager

 

Is there a time when you remember participating with us to improve Storyline? Did you take part in a beta program, suggest a feature that got turned into a real part of our product, or take part in a user interview? Let us know in the comments.

Psst—we know we've come a long way, and we still have a long way to go! We wanted to share that this year, we're investing in making our product feedback cycles in this community even better. Look out for improvements to our product ideation boards and beta programs in the coming quarters.

  • An exciting day for the whole team! I'm proud to have watched Storyline grow into what it is today, and know that we couldn't have done it without the support of our Community members so I personally want to thank WendyFarmer​ who always has gone above and beyond to answer questions side-by-side our Customer Happiness team and WaltHamilton​ who writes some of the best analogies and stories for how Storyline works! Seeing both of you answer peers with grace, kindness, and humor has always brought a smile to my day. ⭐

  • It's an honor to be here for the milestone release of Storyline 360, version 100!

    I'm so grateful for our community of Articulators who go above and beyond when helping out their fellow Storyline authors. I'd like to highlight the efforts of Nedim​Nathan_Hilliard​, and SamHill​ for sharing their expertise with custom code solutions, in Storyline!

    Thank you!

  • It has been amazing to watch Storyline change overtime, small QOL benefits have saved me time and energy. Congratulations looking forward to the next 100

    Thank you, StevenBenassi​ , for the shout-out! 

    I'm truly honored to be part of this incredible community. It's a privilege to be among so many talented contributors and inspiring names who have shaped my Storyline learning journey. A heartfelt thank you to the Articulate staff for their outstanding support. This truly is the best community out there. Grateful to be here and excited to keep learning and sharing!

    Also, congratulations to the entire team and community on reaching Storyline’s 100th release milestone. What an incredible journey and achievement! 

    Love y'all!

    • This is such a kind comment! I've shared it back with the whole team so folks who have worked on all of these releases can feel the love. Thank you so much for being a part of this community, we really are so lucky to have you!

  • Years ago (whenever the most recent Articulate conference was in MN), I cornered SimonTaghioff​ with my wish list. 

    One item I remember asking about (read: "complaining" 😉) was this: "Reset to initial state" didn't actually do that when the user revisited a slide. It replayed the timeline from the start, but objects on the slide remained in whatever state they had been left in during the user's previous visit.

    I can't say for sure that my input mattered, but "Reset to initial state" now does what it says it will. 😁

  • It’s such a joy to work with so many talented people! I’m thrilled to be celebrating our 100th Storyline release with all of you. It’s a significant milestone, and we couldn’t have reached it without the fantastic contributions from everyone in the E-Learning Heroes Community. 

    Big thanks to JudyNollet, KarlMuller, and PhilMayor for always bringing your energy, support, and helpful advice. Your selflessness and expertise help keep this community vibrant and truly impactful.

  • Whether you've been with us since Update 1 or just joined us on this journey, this community makes this incredible. So many folks have been mentioned here, and I love that they are truly familiar names. 
    I'm not in the community as much as I once was, but off the cuff, I think of PhilMayor​ because he's been in the community and helping folks longer than I have. Then, of course, my mind goes to accessibility, and I immediately think of SamHill​ and elizabeth​ stepping in.
    Thank you all for being here and making this community great!
