Display in new browser window

Hi Michael,

It's possible that could treat the web object as a pop up, depending on the browser settings. Have you had any issues with this, specifically? 

Hi Alyssa,

Before I implement the use of this feature, I'd like to know whether browsers will block it based on people's experiences. We will be replicating this for about 100 courses so I want to make sure I understand how it will be treated by most browsers.

Has anyone reading this, who has used this feature before, noticed it being blocked when it opens in custom dimensions with no browser controls? Also, has anyone seen this setup result in a new tab rather than a separate window that still forces the browser to show controls?

Hi Michael,

I haven't seen the "open in a new window" be treated as a pop up before - but it's a good thing to test out based on the browsers you'll be using! 

Also keep in mind it may be a new window or a new tab, that is up to the browser and not something you can control in Storyline. 

Hey Michael,

I'll leave it to the community to share their experiences, but I did want to mention that opening in a new window vs. a new tab is typically something that is controlled by the browser settings. There isn't anything you can set from within Storyline to force it to open in a new window and not a tab.

Hi Alyssa,

My browser treats Articulate window as a pop-up. Is there any way I can change this? 

Hi Maryna,

What browser are you using? Also, have you confirmed if it is the browser that chooses to launch the Articulate course in a new window or your  Learning Management System (LMS)? The LMS may have a setting to launch in a new window, so you could reach out to your admin for details on how to change that. 

How do I access the Display in New Browser Window?

Hello Teresa!

You can find this setting in the Web Object pop-up.

Here's what it looks like: 

Please let me know if you have additional questions!
