New in Storyline 360: Preview selected scenes and slides
Mar 27, 2020
We love giving you new ways to work more efficiently in Storyline 360. That’s why we’ve added more options for seeing the changes you’re making to your projects without publishing your entire course. You’re already able to preview one slide, one scene, or your entire project, but now you have the added flexibility of previewing multiple scenes or slides.
In Story View, you can preview multiple scenes or slides, and in Slide View, you can preview multiple slides. Here’s how:
Just Shift+click to select a series of scenes or slides, like this:
Or, use Ctrl+click to select nonconsecutive scenes or slides, like this:
With your slides selected, click the Preview drop-down arrow on the ribbon and choose Selected Scenes or Selected Slides, depending on your context.
That’s all there is to it! We think you’ll love this nifty new timesaver!
You can learn more about the new preview selected scenes/slides feature in this article.

Boy, oh boy, are you right about us loving it.
I've been waiting for this new option. Thank you!
Excellent functionality, very useful for large storyLine projects.
I've been waiting for this for years! Excellent!
WOW WOW WOW ... loving it. Thank you so much Articulate.
I just logged on today to post that I wanted a similar feature. Does this feature make it possible to "view entire project - from this slide"?
I would love to have that be a quick access button in the preview.
Brilliant, Thank You
Hello Brandon and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for popping in to share what you would like to see.
Is there a preview option to "view the entire project - from this slide"?
You can preview multiple slides (or even scenes) by selecting them first:
It’s that easy!
Hi, Brandon.
When you preview the entire project, it does start from the first slide. However, you can quickly jump to any slide when previewing -- even when navigation is restricted. Just use the Select drop-down menu to pick the slide you want to preview.
When I preview a scene, can someone help me understand why the menu in the player is showing my scenes out of order, and how to fix it? They are playing the scenes in the correct order, but the menu list itself is out of order.
Hi, Jennifer,
It's possible to re-order slides and/or scenes in the player Menu. That doesn't change the order used by the NEXT button; it just changes how the items appear in the Menu. It appears your Menu somehow got rearranged.
You can fix the problem by going to the Player and adjusting the Menu order:
P.S. It's better to start a new thread for this type of question. That will make it more likely to be seen and answered.
Please please please remap Preview Slide to the F12 key and not Ctrl-F12. 99,99% rarely previews an ENTIRE COURSE, but either a Scene or a Single Slide. So why oh why must preview Single Slide live under Ctrl+F12? Storyline developers like me are screaming for such Quality of Life improvements.
