Within a scene, is there a way to preview a story from a specific point onward? I don't want to take the time to keep re-visiting the front end of a course every time I want to preview the things at the end. I know that you can preview a slide, a scene, the project or a question bank, but I'd like something a bit in between.
You could always set up a new scene in Story View (name it "Preview" then delete it at the end) and select/drag the slides to that scene to preview them, then drag them back to their proper place. Not elegant - but it would be quick. I'm sure this won't work in many situations where there is a lot of interactivity, but if it's pretty straightforward, this might help.
Karen, thanks for giving the little push I needed to send in this request. I've been thinking about it for a while. I requested the ability to preview a range of slides, e.g., 3-7 in a 10-slide scene, like we can do in Presenter. Hope more people make the request. I really miss this "Presenter feature."
Did you know you can use the Select dropdown button in Storyline Preview to jump ahead to the slide you want to see? Let me know if that's what you had in mind!
Yes, please. It would be great if this was an option. To be able to preview from, let's say, slide 30 and go to the end, rather than start from the beginning every time would be wonderful! (Hate to say it, but the competitor has this option.) It would be such a time saver. Any chance of adding it to the road map? Thanks much!

That's not a feature right now, but you could use Alyssa's method to preview the entire course and select slide 25. From that point, you can continue using the player navigation or the menu you'd created.
Ahhh I'm only on day one of Articulate and I'm already looking for this feature - much needed when you have o re-watch video footage each time - I'll submit a feature request.
Submitted a feature request, as well, but putting my 2 cents in here, as well, to hopefully light the fire under the belly of the Articulate developers. :)
I tried Alyssa's method, and it works perfectly. (i.e. the ability to preview from a particular slide onwards already exists in Storyline).
It would still be helpful to have a "Preview from Slide" button (similar to what iSpring has) to save the first-world hassle/extra clicks of going to "Select" (so I do support the feature request), but Alyssa's solution works perfectly in the interim.
Great news! We just released another update for Storyline 360 and included a few important fixes and new features that you'll see in the release notes here.
The item you'll be interested in is how you can save time by previewing selected scenes or slides! Be sure to check out the article for all the details:
If you want to skip to a certain point within a particular slide you could set a "jump to timeline" triggered on timeline start. For example if you want to skip the first section (media) included in a scene etc

I'm afraid you can't do that. It would be nice if you could.
Karen, I would love to see this feature too. Here's a link if you want to submit a feature request: http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/submit.php?form=feature

I was searching for a way around this problem. I see there isn't. I too will be sure to submit a feature request. Thanks!
Thanks Sindy for submitting the feature request!
Hi guys - is this now possible?
Hey Charlotte,
Did you know you can use the Select dropdown button in Storyline Preview to jump ahead to the slide you want to see? Let me know if that's what you had in mind!

Hi Jan!

No, that’s not it. If your example had 30 slides and we wanted to start the
preview at slide 25 and go to the end—that’s what I’m looking for.
Thanks!

7 years may have passed since I put in my request for this, but better late than never! Thanks for all you guys do!
