NEW IN STORYLINE 360: New Triggers Panel and Workflow
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:

I have made the change to the new trigger update and found that you can no longer access the base layer in the When section of the Trigger wizard. I have a button that is being selected on the base layer. There is another object on another layer that is supposed to change stage when you select the item on the base layer. How do I access objects on the base layer from another layer? If you see the video there is a trigger that is unassigned, unassigned. I need to trigger to look like the triggers unassigned at the top.
Do you have 'Hide objects on base layer selected'?
Can you share the slide and someone might be able to help you
Here is a snag of the old version that I trying correct. I need to change it to Answer 2.
Yes I can share the slide. I do not have "Hide objects on the base layer" checked.
If you can share the slide and not an image that would be helpful in trying to see what's going on.
Give me a few minutes to upload the slide. I need to delete the rest of the slides out of my story.
Here is the story.
I am not sure if I turned on the new Trigger Wizard Feature.
Hi Joe
I changed the trigger to be on timeline start and it's working - I think the new trigger wizard is a different way of thinking about things. I may be wrong ;-)
Hi Joe - So I had to double check to make sure, but what you are seeing is expected behavior. I took a look at the video you shared as well as the file. Nothing has changed behavior wise from what was possible in previous versions of Storyline 360.
This can be confirmed on your end if you revert to the old Classic wizard/panel via Storyline Options - https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/articulate-storyline-360-user-guide-how-to-set-options#features
Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help you with, regarding this or anything else.
Hi Wendy - From Joe's video, he's trying to have a trigger on a layer interact with an object on the base layer using a 'When the State of' trigger. The issue he is seeing is expected behavior.
Most triggers on layers are unable to interact with other layers including the base layer and has been that way for some time.
Thank you Wendy. That makes total sense now. My brain was not working trying to hurry to fix an issue and did not take to time to think about it. So used to the old way. Thanks.
Doesn't make sense NOT to officially support this as a feature as far as I'm concerned.
Hi Ben - I'm going to reach out directly via PM. If you could share that file from your video, I would definitely like to take a closer look. Thanks.
I'm totally confused then (and it doesn't take much - LOL) . I'm on the incorrect layer in the wizard and I can see objects on the base and on the layer itself - or are you referring only to specific triggers?
Hi Wendy - Sorry for any confusion. Yes, referring to specific triggers. In your screenshot, you are looking at the Action part of a trigger, but Joe's issue was with the When part of the trigger.
Some triggers will work with the base layer, but others won't. It depends on the setup.
As no one commented on my earlier post I thought I would ask again.
Is this new trigger wizard going to be applied to Storyline 3 as I have some lessons with a ton of triggers and this wizard would make my life so much easier!!
Thank you Ben,
That is something that our team has used a bunch of times in building our moduleSSS.
Hi Curtis,
Based on your post, I've been holding off on upgrading my copy of Storyline because my current big project has a couple of important web objects in lightboxes. I'm wondering if you and your team have managed to solve the issues you reported above with web objects in the latest Storyline build.
Cheers!
Finally. Great work Articulate Team. :)
