Commonly used course components

Hi Eileen!

Sounds like you may be needing to set up a custom player that you can re-use and a template to assist you. Details below.

When you make changes to a player, those changes get saved in the current project file. However, it's a good idea to save your custom players separately, so you can reuse them in other courses or share them with other content developers. Here's how.

Templates are huge time savers. They generally have a custom design with slide layouts and content placeholders. They may even include media, animations, interactive objects, variables, and triggers. Just add a template to your course, then customize the content to fit your situation. Articulate Storyline has a library of ready-made templates, but you can add more. See this tutorial for details.

Hi Leslie,

I was wondering if  in Articulate we can build a library of reusable objects.  This idea comes from using Flash.  I used to create buttons  for example like 'exit' or 'next' which I could reuse.  Also if I wanted to change the button state and add some text, I would need to do it once, and it would be reflected in all instances.  Most importantly, I could create new instances based on existing buttons, and reuse is for other purposes.  Can we build a library of objects in Articulate just like Flash? Many thanks,

Indrani

Hey there, Indrani.  You’ve shared some really good information!  Your idea for a course asset library sounds like something our product development team could review.  Would you be able to tell them about it here in the form of a Feature Request?

Thanks,

Best
