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!

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!

+1 over here! :)
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.
The last post I can see is four years ago. Any updates to the suggested feature?
Hello? Is this thing on? I spent a bunch of time creating menu items and grouping them is not an option when it comes to states. Where is the merge feature already? It's been 4 years!
Putting my vote in to have this feature in Storyline.
Thanks!Do we have any update on these features?

Hello everyone, 🎉
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 98, we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the new features we’ve included is:
- Engage learners with fluid transitions that seamlessly animate objects, shapes, and other content between slides.
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 don’t hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.
I have attached a file. I do not get a morphing transition. Please advise.
Objects with text that change will not morph; remove the text, and it will morph. This is documented in the instructions
The character changes, so I suspect it internally registers as a different image, if you try with the same image, it works.
Ok great on the remove text. For the image, I duplicated the slide and changed height and pose. So, it is the same image with a different pose?
