I am publishing my elearning module (see attached screenshot) to test. The module works fine but once I start testing the web accessibility features, the tabbing order i set on each slide does not work in my published version. Im i missing some setting when im publishing to enable it? thanks
First, could you share more details on what you're seeing happen in the published output? Also, what version of Storyline are you using?
If Storyline 360 build 3.36.21213.0 or later, we optimized slide navigation to require fewer keystrokes for screen reader users and keyboard-only users. This resource covers how the new experience works.
I'm happy to help! The objects that are highlighted when tabbing through are interactive objects. This is any object that needs user interaction. This includes buttons, hotspots, videos, etc.
I'm happy to test your file on my end to check the behavior! You can attach it to this discussion.
The way the tabbed order works has changed, see link shared above, above now only interactive objects are tabable. Objects are read in the tab order you have defined.
If you see anything different I would raise a support case.

Greetings, Simon!
Thanks for that screenshot and for reaching out. Since you defined the tab order of your slide objects, that should carry over to your published courses. Let's dig in!

Looking forward to continuing the conversation!
Hello Katie
We have create modules in version 3.37.21614.0.
I have setting the tabbing order and alt text onto every slide.
Once I publish my module (setting on pervous screenshot) and view the content by:
1. Save the attached zip file to your computer.
2. Extract (unzip) the file.
3. Double-click the story.html file.
The tabbing order is not working as i set it. I only tabs onto videos then the next button.
it is odd, as when my colleague publishes the modules, in the same way. the tabbing order works.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated

Hey Lauren,
I have attached the Articulate file so you can see the tabbing order set, if it helps
Hello Lauran and katie
Just to give you a further update,
myself and 2 colleagues are having the same issue, since we have updated storyline with the latest version - 3.38.21779.0.
My colleage was using any earlier verison and her tabbing order was working fine once she publishing it.
The way the tabbed order works has changed, see link shared above, above now only interactive objects are tabable. Objects are read in the tab order you have defined.

Thanks Phil, i have raised a case with the support team!
