    Which screen reader, browser, and version of Storyline 360 are you using?

      I can't get it to work :(  I would really appreciate any suggestions!  I am using Storyline v3.56.26219.0, and it doesn't show me any updates are available.  I am just using a free version of NVDA I downloaded from the microsoft store, and I'm using Chrome.
