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.

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 :)
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!
Another vote! we really need to have this feature to help with creating shapes unique to material requirements. Please develop it!
Please add my vote as well! This feature would so much ease time spend on creating SLs.
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!
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!
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.
Thanks for sharing your experience, AV and Matthew! We've added your voice to the feature request.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
