I have a Storyline 360 project with a white background. When previewing in Storyline, the slide appears as it should.
However on publish to Review and our LMS, there is one slide that turns grey.
This slide has 4 shapes that provide navigation to 4 sub sections. The home button is disabled until all 4 sections are visited. All that navigation seems to be working fine.
Any ideas what could be causing the background to change colour on publish?
Does the affected slide happen to have an image with the Zoom Picture function enabled? If so, we're currently looking into a potential bug where the Zoom Picture option adds a grey border around an image in Storyline.
Would you mind sharing the .story file (even just the troublesome slide is perfect) so I can take a close look? You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by using this upload link.
I published to slide to Review 360 from Storyline 360, Update 25, where I see the same grey background. I don't see anything in the file that would cause the background to change in the published output, so I'd like to get a second opinion from our Support Engineers.
I've submitted your file to our team so we can sort what may be going on. They'll reach out to you by email shortly with their findings, and I'll also follow along!
Not sure if this will help since it's your slide background color that's the issue. I had 4 rectangles that were all supposed to e the same background color but 1 kept changing colors.
I had support look into it but they couldn't see anything wrong. I ended up fixing the issue and all I did was rearrange the order on the timeline. For some reason, sending the object backwards fixed the color issue. Don't ask me why that would matter.
I actually received a response from one of the Customer Support Engineers who looked into my project file. He suspected that something was corrupted with the design theme and suggested changing it, which I did. Then I immediately changed it back to the one I was using previously. Did a publish to Review and the grey background was gone! Here's hoping it stays that way!
Thanks for everyone's input, I'm really impressed with the Articulate Community which has helped me resolve some tricky issues.

Oh no! Sorry you see that grey border, Mark.

Let me know if that condition matches your setup!
Hi Katie,
No Zoom Picture being used on this project.
Also note, its not a grey border around images thats the problem, its actually the whole slide background displaying grey (when its actually white)
Good morning, Mark. Ah, my mistake! 👓

I'll delete it once we sort this oddity!
Hi Katie,
Thanks for your help.
I've removed every slide in the project, except for the one with the grey background.
I just did a preview in Storyline which was fine, but a publish to Review saw the return of the grey background.
Thanks for sharing your file, Mark!

Hi all!
I am happy to report that we are not seeing this behavior in Storyline 360 (Build 3.49.24347.0):
If you're still running into this snag, make sure you're using the latest version of Storyline 360.
