    Hi Everyone,

    I'm happy to share that we've just released a new update for Storyline 360!

    In version 3.111.36309.0, we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the new enhancements we've added is:

    • Deliver accessible surveys with a built-in Likert scale question that supports screen readers and keyboard navigation.

     

    Even more good news! You don’t need to rebuild your existing Likert scale questions.

    If you republish an existing project in the February 2026 update of Storyline 360 or later, the new version’s previously inaccessible Likert scale questions will automatically support screen readers and keyboard navigation. There’s no need to recreate those questions in newer versions of Storyline 360.

    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 need any additional help!

Hi Annykay!

Thank you for sharing your experience with this issue.

Unfortunately, Likert scale questions aren’t currently keyboard-accessible.

We’ve included one workaround in our VPAT to create keyboard-accessible Likert scale questions from scratch using radio buttons and button groups until we release fully accessible Likert scale questions. I understand this can be tedious.

I've shared your comments with our team, and we have you included to receive updates when an accessible Likert scale question ships!
