Articulate without internet
Hi Jules,
Are you looking for the authors to have access to Articulate 360 without internet, or for the learners?
For authors:
Articulate 360 relies heavily on internet connectivity. That being said, you can use Storyline 360, Studio 360, Replay 360, and Peek offline.
Initially, you must be online to sign into the Articulate 360 desktop app, which lets you install and use the desktop-authoring apps—Storyline, Studio, Replay, and Peek. Thereafter, you can use them offline up to 99 days at a time (or 30 days for free trials).
If you're offline longer than 99 consecutive days, the apps will stop working. To re-enable them, simply connect to the internet and sign into Articulate 360.
As long as you're online, you can use the desktop-authoring apps without interruption. If you go offline (for example, when you're traveling), the 99-day clock begins, allowing you to use them offline. The 99-day clock resets each time you connect to the internet and sign into Articulate 360.
Rise, Articulate Review, Content Library, and Articulate Live require an active internet connection.
For learners:
How they access the content will depend on what authoring tool you used, and the export option you looked at. For example, with Storyline you could export for CD/local source and then your learners would be able to play that back on their laptops regardless of internet connection.
Articulate 360 is not built with a site to track users progress throughout a course, and most users upload their published/exported content to a Learning Management System (LMS) to hold all the tracking and reporting data. As for which ones may work offline, I hope that folks in the community can share their experiences on that with you!
Hi Ashley,
So if I am not looking to track students' results, will the export to local source be accessible to all students? I am aiming at developing content for students to access for resources only. Will that be accessible through Storyline 360?

Hello Abeer!
Great question! It sounds like you have viewers who won't be using the internet. I'd recommend publishing to CD and then sharing the Launch_Story.exe file for the learners to download and open.
Let me know if you have additional questions!
