You also asked about the different states. Take a look at the articles below for information on built-in and custom states:
- Storyline 360: Definition of Built-In States
- Everything You Need to Know About States in Storyline 360
I hope this helps!
Maria - Been meaning to ask you: how did you create these mini screencap visual demos above? What are the steps? I really need to do this to explain functions and locations for my EFL students.
Hi James,
Happy to step in here. Maria used a tool called Snagit to make short recordings that are then saved as GIFs. You can download it here if you want to check it out.
Thanks much, Joe! I definitely heard of it, but hadn't used it yet. Will be
checking it out.Cheers.
James
