Introducing Annotated Screenshots in Review360
We've added Annotated Screenshots to Review 360, which improves how reviewers provide feedback to course authors.
This feature enables reviewers to add annotations directly onto screenshots of course content.
Reviewers can capture images while giving feedback and use various tools to mark them up—including text, boxes, lines, highlighting, and freehand drawing. Each annotated image connects to its related comment, making it easier for authors to understand exactly what needs changing.

Very useful. Indispensable. I sent translated modules (in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, etc.) and invited the proofreaders to use this feature (explaining how to do so in a few words in MY first comment). In this particular case, where I don't understand the meaning of the requested correction at all and I don't read the words/letters that I copy and paste, the comments were much more precise and easier for me to process.
That’s honestly a fantastic update 👏
Annotated Screenshots are going to make feedback so much clearer for both reviewers and course authors. I’ve often found that written comments alone can be a bit confusing — especially when multiple visual elements are close together.
Being able to mark directly on the screenshot (with arrows or boxes) saves a ton of back-and-forth clarifications. It feels like such a simple addition, but it’s one of those features that really improves the overall collaboration flow in Review 360.
Can’t wait to test this in a real project — it’ll definitely help when working with clients who aren’t always great at describing what they mean in text 😅
Just learned of this functionality today. Great idea and wonderful to see. However, I am noticing that when done within Storyline the screenshot only shows the upper left quadrant of the screen. I am unable to pan or scroll to the right side or lower half of the screen to annotate. Am I missing a setting someplace? Does this have to do with slide size?
Hi FrankGough!
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with Annotated Screenshots in Review 360!
You're not missing a setting or doing anything wrong. This behavior was related to a bug in Storyline 360. This bug caused:
- Review 360 displayed screenshot annotations at inconsistent zoom levels when used to comment on a Storyline 360 Slide.
I'm happy to share that our release of Storyline 360 version 3.109.36125.0 corrects this issue! Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you run into any setbacks moving forward!
I really liked it until we found an issue. If someone has been reviewing for a while the annotations start to move up the screen so they are now no longer where they wanted them to be. It ONLY seems to happen after a number of reviews. I reported this as an issue and thought it resolved but we only tried to recreate it a few times. Then it happened again and so I reported it again and got the normal 'have they tried this' yes and in some cases they can't!
Just to illustrate this random circle was to request a full stop at the end of a sentence needed adding and where it should go. It was no where near the sentence he meant.
I am rather annoyed with the support testing TBH as this needs looking into. Again to stress this happens after making over about 15 comments.
Hi CarolineHugh981! Thanks for sharing your experience here! I see that you've been working with Support and followed up again after this issue reoccurred. I'm glad you did! I've connected with our Support Engineers assigned your case so that we can prioritize your case to figure out what the solution is. You'll hear from our team shortly! Again, thanks for following up since this is still an issue on your end.
