Does increasing the story size increase the published quality (DPI)?

Hi Jon!

If you are looking at the best practices for quality - it's more about the images/videos you add and the publish settings set. 

Check out this helpful article.

Thanks Leslie.  I'm aware how to optimise the publishing settings and the importance and using good quality images and video in the first instance...

My question is really whether, in addition to these practices, doubling the Story Size from 720x540 to 1440x1080 has any impact on the published quality?

Or is it that creating a bigger slide simply allows larger images to be displayed at their fullest resolution?  (Hence the larger file size.)

Hi Jon!

The latter part of your thought, so larger images will be displayed larger on a larger stage.

The downside is that if any of your learners have a screen resolution smaller than 1440 x 1080, then scaling the slide could actually make the quality look worse.

Thanks Leslie. Sounds as if it's best to establish the average screen size across my audience and aim slightly beneath this then?

Sounds reasonable and don't forget to lock the player at optimal size to prevent any scaling :)

Thanks again Leslie.  One final question, are other elements of the slide, such as action buttons or other shapes constructed in Articulate or ported over from PowerPoint, also increased alongside the Story Size in the same manner?

Or are these elements constrained to a maximum resolution of 96dpi?

(Or is the 96dpi limit only a consideration during creation, not publishing?)

Hi J! Scaling and re-sizing can occur for sure. I'm not sure if I'm following your question, but the 96DPI is mostly for creation as you mention.
