Can you copy a Zoom Region?

Are we up to year 9 and there is no workable solution yet? 

At least display the zoom region dimensions and position like it was a shape. 

I could not agree more.  This seems like something that should be a no brainer for development.  It ends up either making the design work so difficult it isn't worth it, or the end product with so many little jumps that it looks cheap.

PLEASE GET THIS FEATURE IMPLIMENTED.

Come-on Articulate. Storyline Objects have adjustable size and position - numerical variables.

How difficult can it be?

I would like to add my voice to the chorus here--I would love to be able to copy a zoom region to another slide layer, keeping it the same position & size as the original. 

Ten years and counting and still no resolution!  

Can you PLEASE look into this Articulate!  It's all well and good copying a slide with a Zoom region but this is not practical when recording screen simulations.  

Yes please, this would make the zoom region feature much more useful and quicker to apply across multiple slides (or layers)

Come on everyone, get your colleagues to contribute to this discussion, Fixing this will make our development lives a lot easier and our work look a lot more professional.

Let us all show Articulate how much this means to us and finally get it fixed in 2023!

Thanks

I really hope they will implement a fix for this very soon, I have another Sim project and I am seriously not looking forward to hours of trying to line up Zooms, even with the grid its painfully slow and if its so much as a millimetre out it stutters and looks unprofessional.

Sadly, it appears that Articulate doesn't implement feature requests, this is one of many fundamental issues which have been outstanding for years. 

This is a fundamental design feature, and should be implemented into the software. 

I can't overstate the importance of a decent Zoom feature.  These days everyone is becoming more and more aware of user accessibility, and Articulate promotes some accessibility features.

While a lot of e-learning works along the line of PowerPoint on steroids, with bullet point lists, interactive tools, etc.

Many developers are also creating e-learning modules to train the use of Computer Software and they/we often will make use of the Storyline player to wrap around the subject matter/Software images, with SL menu items and a table of contents, etc.  This border takes up screen space that reduces the available space for the image of the subject being discussed, resulting in smaller text and objects  - often to the extent that these are no longer legible. 

This effect worsens when we consider Accessibility for learners with visual impairments.

In these scenarios it is really important to have the ability to zoom in on specific regions of the subject image, to clarify and highlight the current topic of interest.

Thankfully Storyline does do this.

However, it is often necessary to keep the zoom area fixed over a number of slides.  And by not having any numerical means of setting/matching the zoom areas, Developers either have to do this by eye- which can result in unprofessional and jerky slide transitions. Or they need to duplicate the first zoomed slide and base the rest of them on it.

This of course may be acceptable when creating new eLearning modules from scratch, but it can be very, very time-consuming when updating pre-existing modules.

Having a zoom feature was one of the main requirements my colleagues and I had when we decided to subscribe to the Articulate software suite of products.

Please Fix this issue.

Many thanks
