I hope that at some point Mobile and Tablet portrait views become usable.
Also I would like to have the ability to move multiple objects in the timeline up or down together. At the moment still, we can only move 1 object at a time up or down in the timeline which can be time consuming.
Another option I would like to see is the ability to add a new object to existing group, maybe just drag it into the group in the timeline. At the moment you have to ungroup and then select everything plus the new object and then regroup again.
Storyline 360 will always be latest version of Storyline and is continuously updated with new features. You can click here to compare Storyline 3 to Articulate 360.
I took a look at the issue we'd previously shared with our team and found it was reproducible under pretty specific conditions of having published the file for a second time after making minor changes and updates. Have you tested this out in Storyline 3 yet? It's still an open issue in Storyline 2, and I don't see a notation of a change in Storyline 3 to this behavior yet.
Has anyone tried screen recording in the new SL 3? I've been trying it out and the resolution is terrible - very blurry screen. I still have SL 2 and the resolution is totally fine for the same recording, all other settings the same. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
I've been working on a course with screen recordings in SL3 all week. I noticed the resolution is not great, but thought it was me. (I have noticed that the resolution in Preview using the PC option is really, really bad! I've been switching to the phone or tablet view in Preview.)
I'll compare the SL3 recordings to another version of this same course done in SL2 if I can find a minute.
I haven't seen a lot of examples of screen recordings in Storyline 3 yet to compare them, but haven't noticed it myself yet. I'd want to start by checking into some best practices associated with screen recordings and my colleague Justin has some good information he shared here.
You may also want to look at your overall screen resolution as well, we've seen some folks share that the preview or slide stage can appear blurry when using a screen resolution higher than 100% percent.

So I'm trying this one out and it's pretty sleek. I didn't have any problem converting from SL2 to SL3. That responsive player is what I've been waiting for. However, it seems that, for LMS content, I cannot save for offline viewing even if I enable that in the Publish Format dialog box. Maybe I'm missing something? Thanks.
We recently updated our SL1 to SL3, and while everything worked well on our trial run, now that we purchased it, we're having all sorts of conversion problems. I've submitted a ticket already, but would like to know if anybody had the same issues.
On some files, we lost our SL1 file, as it converted the file to blank in SL3. And the backup file was saved as blank as well.
Also, for some that we were able to open and edit with no problems, once we zipped and published, and uploaded, the LMS course would show as blank slides.
And there are many more buggy things that are happening as we are converting our old SL1 files. If we knew it was going to be this difficult, we wouldn't have made the purchase. This is really a problem for us as we have hundreds of courses to convert. please help us what we can do.
Thank you for the idea Pierre, that could potentially help, but we have hundreds of courses and if that is really the case, I'd really like to have Articulate tech support to help the conversion process. I haven't heard from tech support yet. :(
Sorry for the delay Jane, and I see that Vira let you know we were all at an offsite meeting on Friday so they'll be in touch as soon as they can.
As for updating the files, you shouldn't need to go from Storyline 1 to Storyline 2, prior to Storyline 3. Our support engineers will want to take a look at one of your files and find out a bit more about the issues you're running into. Can you respond to Vira's latest email and share a copy of your .story file?

Hi, Catherine!

Thanks, Ashley. Just checking back in to say that the reinstall is working fine!
Has Storyline 3 addressed the inconsistent SCORM imsmanifest generation when making minor updates to project files, or is this item still an open issue?

Ashley,
That link to Justin's post goes to a tutorial about markers.
Thanks Walt - fixed/update! Lots of copy and paste over here. ;-)

However, it seems that, for LMS content, I cannot save for offline viewing even if I enable that in the Publish Format dialog box. Maybe I'm missing something? Thanks.
Offline viewing only works in conjunction with the Articulate Mobile Player app.
is there a discussion somewhere on the differences between SL 2 and 3?
Hi Pernille,
This chart has a comparison of Storyline 3 with all the older versions.
We recently updated our SL1 to SL3, and while everything worked well on our trial run, now that we purchased it, we're having all sorts of conversion problems. I've submitted a ticket already, but would like to know if anybody had the same issues.
On some files, we lost our SL1 file, as it converted the file to blank in SL3. And the backup file was saved as blank as well.

Hi Jane,
Maybe you could download a SL2 trial (30 days) and go through the SL2 conversion step instead of a direct SL1 to SL3 conversion.
Thank you for the idea Pierre, that could potentially help, but we have hundreds of courses and if that is really the case, I'd really like to have Articulate tech support to help the conversion process. I haven't heard from tech support yet. :(

Thank you Ashley,
Yes, that sounds great. I'm off campus today, but I will have one of my team mates email you the files.
Thank you so much!

Jane
No problem Jane - whenever you can get it to us we'll take a look

Hi William,
You may want to post this in the E-Learning Heroes jobs page or the Building Better Courses side of ELH.
That way you'll get more visibility than this discussion focused on getting started with Storyline 3.
Hi Ashley, Thanks for pointing that out - I actually meant to post it on a local Vancouver BC page! oops.
No worries William. 😉
