Introducing Localized Timelines!

We heard your feature requests loud and clear!

If you’ve ever localized a course, you know that different languages often require timeline adjustments due to variations in syntax, word order, and text length. Until now, making those changes meant impacting your source version.

✨ What’s new?
You can now adjust timelines for individual target language courses directly within Storyline, without affecting the source language version.

That means:

• Greater flexibility when localizing
• Cleaner workflow between source and translated courses
• No more timeline workarounds to accommodate narration expansion

For more detail on how this works, check out the user guide.

Install the March 2026 Storyline update (or later) to set per-language timing and duration for each object, cue points, and slide duration, including those on layers and slide masters.

Note: Localized timelines are currently in public beta; functionality may change based on feedback.
