Convert a static image into interactive learning obejct
Hello,
Could someone advise me on how to make a static image, such as a PNG image into an interactive learning object?
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jiss Mathew

Simplest way is to place your image onto a Storyline slide, then draw hotspots onto it. these can link people to various other content locations, cause shapes and layers to appear, and so on.
if you have a PNG editing package, you can also save versions of the image with different areas highlighted, and place these into states, so that they change when you hover over the hotspots.

John Faulkers, Thank you!
It also depends on what you want to do. Essentially you have three types of interactions: click, hover, and drag.
These may not be relevant, but I wrote a few posts a while back on converting single images to interactions.

Hi, I am looking at the same idea. I'm investigating using markers to provide extra content to an image; see https://community.articulate.com/articles/storyline-3-working-with-markers
