Storyline becoming legacy software?

Jun 14, 2023

By ANNE Learning

Hi!

I've heard in several places now that storyline is soon to be considered a legacy product.

Is there any truth to this? Is focus shifting to Rise?

Best regards
Michael

I haven't heard anything about Storyline 360 becoming a "legacy product." SL gives developers much more control than Rise, so I can't imagine Articulate discontinuing it.

FYI: Here's some info that indicates their commitment: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/storyline-under-a-microscope-an-update-from-the-cto

Storyline 3 is another matter. As per the company's info, "Storyline 3 currently receives only core security updates and technical support. All new product innovations will be available exclusively on Articulate 360." So, in essence, that has become a legacy product.

FYI: Article re: SL3: Storyline 3 Got Its Final Update on April 25, 2023 - Articulate Support

As long as Storyline is 32-bit...it is legacy ;-)

In fact this is the definition of legacy related to software:

adjective

COMPUTING

adjective: legacy

denoting or relating to software or hardware that has been superseded but is difficult to replace because of its wide use.

"integration with legacy systems has been cited as a problem by over half of respondents"

Well Storyline has not beed superseded yet...at least not by Articulate tools... if you compare the competition... well..
