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.

The last post I can see is four years ago. Any updates to the suggested feature?
Agreeing with previous comments regarding copying content over from PowerPoint. Shapes get flattened into images and their scalability is compromised.
Add me to the list that are asking for this feature in Storyline.
+1 over here! :)
Hi Karyn,
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us. I've added your voice to this existing request. We'll be sure to update this thread in the future with any news and updates so everyone is in the loop!
Hope that you have a great start to your day! 🎉
As a dedicated user and member of the Articulate Storyline community who has been waiting for the inclusion of a "Merge Shape" feature in Storyline 360 for the past four years, it's disheartening that it hasn't yet made it onto the official roadmap.
This functionality has been consistently requested by users and would significantly enhance our ability to create diverse and dynamic visual elements within the platform. Not to mention it would solve problems in regards to the fading issue.
I understand the challenges associated with prioritizing features, but I believe that addressing this longstanding request would greatly benefit the Storyline user community. Please add my vote to include this valuable feature to the official roadmap soon!

Thanks for sharing your experience, AV and Matthew! We've added your voice to the feature request.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
100% agree on this. I currently make my custom shapes in PowerPoint and then import them into Storyline as images. It's a cumbersome process and because you are then working with images rather than shapes a lot of functionality is lost.
Another vote! This would be very helpful as a developing tool. Having to rely on Microsoft products, saving as an uneditable pic, etc. is not what we really need. Please develop it!
Hi Kat & Iris!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing how this feature could benefit you when authoring in Storyline! I've included your voices in the feature report and will update this thread as soon as we have news to share!
Have a great rest of your week and happy developing!
