Merge Shapes Feature
Hi guys,
It just came in my mind if we could add a "Merge Shapes Feature" like "PowerPoint" in Storyline so It can be quite helpful to create interesting shapes and picture place holders and make storyline more creative.
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone,
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 100, we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the new features we’ve included is:
- Unleash your creativity—use merge options to combine basic shapes into custom, powerful designs.
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 additional help.

Please add my vote as well! This feature would so much ease time spend on creating SLs.
Another vote! we really need to have this feature to help with creating shapes unique to material requirements. Please develop it!
Thanks for sharing that you'd like a merge shapes feature implemented in Storyline 360, Kate! It's not currently on our feature roadmap, but I'll be sure to update this discussion if our team decides to reroute, and you'll be among the first to know!
Any update? This feature would be great. When I tried to fade in two objects (grouped) at the same time, they still fade inn at different times... So if I could merge the shapes this wouldn't be an issue :)
Has this feature been added?
Hi, is the merge feature now available in storyline?
Hi Nicole,
Thanks for reaching out!
We don't have any new updates to share on this feature request, but we'll definitely drop a message here when it makes it to our product roadmap!
I'm not sure if this is "simple", y'all. Storyline can't even change the color of a single-shaped SVG. There are no bezier handles to manipulate curves. I would also love Articulate to have some major illustration tools, but maybe it would be better to access illustration tools if you need them. Inkscape is no-cost and open-source, and vectr.com doesn't even require installation.
I second this request. I find it ridiculous nothing has been done in over 4 years to make this simple feature possible in articulate storyline. There are so many uses with this feature (as stated by the many comments before), that otherwise won't be possible or are a waste of valuable time. Please put this on the roadmap rather sooner than later!
Hi Stephanie,
Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes Community!
Thanks for sharing that you’d like to see a merge shapes feature in Storyline 360. It’s not currently on our feature roadmap, but we’ll be sure to update this discussion if our team decides to reroute.
I appreciate your patience!
Hi Eric, currently according to the Articulate Roadmap there is nothing in the pipeline for Storyline enhancements Articulate 360 Feature Roadmap - Articulate Support please can there be an update here.
Also noting that it's not particularly helpful to have the standard generic reply 4 years later, and then still expecting people to be patient..
Is this still in the works? I don't see the option. It would be helpful.
