How to Diplay Large Images
Feb 27, 2019

A lot of the courses I'm working on right now are training on a software platform. My thought was I could load the pages of the software as a PDF, create hotspots or buttons on the clickable areas, which would then either explain the button on a separate layer or jump to the next page, as if they were being guided through the software. My problem is a screenshot of our software is much larger than the page on Storyline (I've attached an example of a page I want to incorperate). I see a scrolling panel option under format, but not sure if thats the solution or even how it works.
Any recommendations?
Any examples of a good software training course someone else built in Articulate?

Your image is much taller (5767 px) than Storyline's image size limitations (2048 px). If you do want to use the full image without resizing it, you need to tile the image, import the tiles, reassmble them in Storyline and add them to a scrolling panel. Here is a quick example. And here is some info on using scrolling panels.
That is exactly what I was trying to figure out. I played with the scroll button a little but couldn't figure out how to get it to work. Those links were super helpful
