Adding a popup shape (or caption) in Articulate Storyline

May 03, 2021

Hello. 

I am working on a project, and I am stuck on something; Actually, I am stuck on a couple of things, but this one has my current attention. 

I want to add a shape with text (or a caption) that pops up when I click the button. How would I go about doing this? 

Have a wonderful day!

Hi T.A.! You can try out the following:

1. Create a new layer, then add a shape with text.

Refer to the user guide for working with layers here:

2. On your main layer, you can assign a trigger on button which will make the new layer appear (the layer where you placed the shape with text) when it is clicked.

Here's the user guide for working with triggers:

Hope this helps!
