It's time for a debug mode in storyline
I recently had a serious project with dozens of variables. Testing and debugging is quite an extra project. . Solution is to add variables to your slides (or, smart, to a lightbox) and when everything works, remove these variables. When testing or reviewing, something is broke or not working as designed, we start over again.
It would be very nice to have a debug mode in the reviewer, so we can inspect elements in Storyline publications (similar to chrome and IE).

Hi there, Dick! We've seen similar requests before, so you're not alone! I'll add your vote to this feature idea. Thanks for letting us know how we can make Storyline even better!
Add my vote as well! Having a debug tool would be a huge benefit! Thanks!
Hi Alyssa,
Happy to know that I'm not alone. :)

I'd just like to bump this and say that I, too, think that storyline needs a debug mode. I still don't see it on the roadmap and the original post is almost 3 years old.
Hi there!
Take a look to this online solution I found the other day:
https://www.scormtools.net/scorm-debugger/
It is an online SCORM Debugging tool that lets you play any content for testing. It has an event console that shows you every transaction between the LMS and the content. Also, it has another panel with all SCORM variables at real time.
But the best thing is that supports content created with Storyline. You can see all storyline variables from the debugger and you can setup breakpoints when a variable changes, for example.
It has a free version, so it could be an interesting option...
