Today we released a really exciting new feature for Storyline 360: media library. Now you can manage all the assets for your project in one place.
Use the media library to easily add, remove, replace, reuse, and export videos, audio tracks, and characters. You can even edit files with third-party apps and save changes back to Storyline 360. This is just the first feature we have planned for media library, so be on the lookout for more to come. Enjoy!
The Media Library will store all assets for the existing project, not all your projects. If you are sharing team slides, any Media Library assets will also be included for that project - you can read a bit more about that here.
I have duplicate images with different file names, ex. 01 and 03. However, when I import file "03" Storyline 360 renames it to "01". When I try to rename the file back to "03" within Media Library, it changes BOTH file names in my timeline, "01" is now "03". Is there a way to disable this renaming functionality and reflect the actual file names of each file (even if the image is identical)?
Hi there, Whitney. I'm going to open a case with my team so we can have a closer look at what's happening and figure out the best way forward! Be on the lookout for an email from us.
I would like to request that media library include all types of assets used in Storyline 360.
Case in point: I'm updating older trainings for accessibility and have found that many of the hyperlinks are now broken due to changes in our webpages and SharePoint. It would be useful to find all instances of a hyperlink in something as useful as media library and make one update to fix all instances of that hyperlink much like you can change all instances of a character.
This feature couldn't have come at a better time. It's saved me at least a day in labour costs manually importing states in secondary languages. HUGE feature add. Thanks.
Articulate 360 Teams subscribers can collaborate on projects by creating a library of shared team slides that the whole team can access right from Storyline 360.
When you share slides with your team, all media library assets get shared too, including assets that aren’t used anywhere in your project. This is a great way to share assets with your team. For example, you might import company logos, product videos, and other brand elements into the media library so your team has quick access to them as they’re building courses.
When you download team slides into an existing project, only the assets used on those slides get imported into your project. On the other hand, when you start a new project using team slides, all the assets that were originally shared with those slides get imported into your project, including unused assets.
Amazing features! It is so great that you continually improve articulate. Can I change a programme for an edition of pictures in the media library? Now it is opened in Paint.
Thank you, Leslie! I found in the documentation that when I click the Edit button (pencil icon) at the bottom of the details pane, I must see list of image editors installed on my computer. But I did not see the list and the file is always opening in Paint. What does it mean?
Inkscape, Gimp, paint.net are installed on my computer, but pictures (.png) always open in Paint. I use Windows 10 Pro. I think that I haven't any defaults, but do not know how to check it.
Here's a glimpse of what I see when I click the Edit button in Media Library.
You can check which apps are installed in Windows by opening Windows Settings >> Apps & Features. You can check which apps are set as Default apps there, too.
Is there a maximum storage capacity to the media library in which I can upload? We have approximately 100 to 200 png files that we would like to upload and manage within the library to use throughout several courses.
Hi, when I try to edit an image from the Media Library, I hit the EDIT btn and it opens automatically in Microsoft paint. And can´t choose like photoshop or any other. I hope you can help me.

I like that idea!

+1 to Daniel's idea! Very handy. If we were able to export a CSV of all the hyperlinks in a project, that would be handy too!
Thanks for sharing your feature idea, Philip and Daniel. I'll keep an eye out for similar ideas and see what momentum is around this concept!
Great addition guys.
Finally! It was a feature request I did 3 years ago :')
Will we be able to share these media libraries with our team at some point?
Hi Angelica,
Great to hear that this is a feature you've been looking forward to.
Our documentation on Managing your Assets with the Media Library includes the following regarding how to best use this with Teams:

Hi Sofia,
Yes, you can reimport your updated assets. Check out the documentation here.

Hi Sofia,
Thanks for the additional details. So, you are not seeing image editors that are installed on your computer?
Do you have the default for the file type you are using set to open in Paint?
What Windows version are you using?
Leslie, yes, I do not see list of image editors.
Inkscape, Gimp, paint.net are installed on my computer, but pictures (.png) always open in Paint. I use Windows 10 Pro. I think that I haven't any defaults, but do not know how to check it.

Hi Kimberly,
We do not have a specified limit to the media library.
The media library is project-specific, but you have a couple of options:
