Storyline 360 just got even better. Now you can more easily manage your triggers and work faster with the new triggers panel and workflow.
You can quickly make edits to triggers directly in the trigger panel with easy-to-use drop-down lists. You can collapse triggers and group them by event type, so they’re easier to find and make changes to. You can also click and drag to change the order of triggers. Plus, you can disable individual triggers for faster troubleshooting.
You can turn the new workflow on and off at any time in your Storyline 360 options. We think you’re going to love it!
Check out this video to see the new triggers panel and workflow in action:
Loving the new trigger panel today. Already getting used to it and very, very happy to have all the new grouping and ability to turn triggers on/off without deleting and rebuilding. Very happy long-time veteran SL user here. Yay!
I've just tried the new trigger panel, it looks and feels great! However, when trying to put the left/right arrows as the key it is giving Num4 and Num6 in the triggers, if I revert to the old style triggers it is back to Left and Right - my existing key press triggers didn't change to Num4 and Num6 when I switched, only the new ones I was creating - any ideas?
Love the new update, but I noticed that some triggers do not execute during on-slide previews. This is definitely the case for state change triggers. I have them toggled on but they only function when the project is published or the slide is previewed via the drop-down in the ribbon.
Where is the option to select the timeline of the object? Example: "Change state of Object X to Hidden when timeline reaches 3 seconds on Object X." I saw it only when I added another object and used the second object to change the state of the first object.
Good question! If you wanted to control it based on another object the only options currently would include when the timeline on that object starts/ends. You could potentially complete this by using cue points!
It would look similar to this.
Our team has been notified about an object timeline option for a feature add. We'll keep you posted if we hear of any updates!
I like the upgrade also. And I agree with @Rusty. Having true if-else would be a real game changer since it removes the need to write a specific else trigger. And that gets to what I'd hoped the upgrade would address: being able to write one trigger to do many things at once. I raised this in the feature request forum last year.
The new grouping makes it easier to see related triggers and that's great. But what I'm really looking for is to be able to write a trigger where, for example, a button click adjusts a variable AND changes the state of an object or objects AND branches to a specific slide... you get the picture. Right now you still need to write one trigger to make each thing happen.

Hi. This new system is good, but FYI - on my current course, the new triggers system is now showing text for a different trigger than the actual trigger in some places. I.e. I have some close buttons, running a 'hide this layer' trigger. The triggers panel clearly shows them as 'show layer' when they are 'hide layer', and they still function as the hide layer trigger I initially set up. When I copy the objects, the triggers no longer do the 'ghost hide' and just do nothing so I presume doing 'show' like the trigger states. I just want to share that as it's going to be very tricky and annoying to troubleshoot things when the interface is telling you one thing and the trigger is actually doing something completely different. What we see and what they do need to be 100% in alignment! Hopefully it's just a one-off, from the upgrading process.
I would have just sent this as bug-tracker but didn't see any links for one.
Slight change with the User Hovers Over trigger. Can anyone tell me what happened to the Restore Mouse on Leave checkbox that was available in the Classic view? I don't always use this, but I have and think it's a useful feature.
I just got the update with the new triggers. I must say, I'm loving this. I can tell that a lot of thought and work went into this new design. Good job Articulate!

Without a doubt, I do not see that option.

You can toggle a boolean with "NOT assignment"

One thing I can no longer do is:
Highlight text > right click > hyperlink > show layer > when MOUSE HOVERS OVER (see image)
I can no longer use that mouse event with a hyperlink. Why?
(I reverted back to the old trigger panel and am able to do it but not with the new one.)
Hi Nicole - Glad you found out how to revert. The issue you found is a bug. Our apologies. We will be fixing it as soon as possible.
Great - thanks!
Very Interested also - thnx
Of course you can continue.

Hi Kym - I can't reproduce the Left, Right issue with keypress triggers. Going to PM you to get more details.

Hi Larry - We haven't been able to reproduce so far. I'm going to PM you to get more information. Thanks.
Hi all,
We did release an update today to fix the issue where the option to trigger hyperlinks "when the mouse hovers over" was missing in the new trigger workflow. You can update to Storyline 360, v1.33.20697.0 to use that option.
Please let us know if you need anything else!

Oops! Just downloaded the update and see the fix is there! Thank you and nice work on the new Triggers Panel.

They have the option of using the old trigger panel if they can’t adjust to the new one, but I think with a little time they will learn to love it.
Second this. I want to go back to the classic view but don't know how. It's not letting me even after I uninstalled and reinstalled.
Hi Genie - Here you go: https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/articulate-storyline-360-user-guide-how-to-set-options#features
That will show you how to go back to classic view.
