SophiePortal-f6​: Here's a workaround for inserting characters into Custom blocks: 

  • Insert the desired character into Storyline. (Or into PowerPoint, if you have Studio 360 installed.) 
  • Right-click the character, and export it as a PNG.
    FYI: Save as Picture results in a smaller file than Export Original Pose. The size of the exported image also depends on how the character is sized in Storyline when the pose is exported. I suggest you test a few sizes to determine what fits your needs.

 

  • Insert the PNG into your custom block. Position it, resize it, and/or crop it as desired.

 

Note: As per the Terms of Service, you may only use Articulate characters in content published from Articulate software (e.g., in Rise and Storyline projects). This restriction also applies to other assets from the Content Library.
