Changing the pose of characters created in earlier versions of Storyline
I would like to change the pose of an in-built character who is not any more in the character library. Is it not possible any more?

You could probably do this with a strong graphics program. You might try finding the pose you want (with a new character) and then manually modifying the old character to look similar to the new one. But unless you have the time, energy, resources, and skill, you might be better off just changing the character entirely.
Thank you for the reply, I guess I will leave it as it is then :-) It would be good though to have access to archived characters somehow because of the lifecycle management of longer and complex trainings.
Hi AmarillaKollr,
If your character is no longer available from Content Library 360, I would suggest the following:
Check if you have the Replace Pose option available if you right click on the character. This would open the Characters menu and default to the original character if it's available. If you do not have this option and it says Replace Picture instead, I would suggest starting from scratch by going to the Insert ribbon and selecting a new character.
Replace Pose option when right clicking a Content Library 360 Character.You could also consider the various AI image authoring tools that could use your base image as a reference and create different poses. This is allowed so long as the edited content stays within Articulate 360 apps. I would check beforehand whether the tool you use is good at maintaining the original features of the image. AI is infamous for slightly changing details you didn't ask for, especially when it comes to fingers and arms (always count the fingers😄)!
