Responsive design in Storyline 360

Hi Greg,

Thanks for reaching out here and sharing the behavior you're seeing. What iOS are you using? I see a previously reported issue within Apple that they weren't respecting some positional elements as detailed here.  You may also want to reach out and file a bug report with Apple to see if there is any way around the behavior. 

It is something our team has also taken a look at, and we'll continue to monitor impact on this issue and any changes we can make to work around the issue within Apple. 

Not a problem Greg, and please keep us posted what your LMS says as well! It may help another user who comes across this forum post. 

Hi all, i understand Rise is your answer to truly responsive content, but what irks me the most with it is that i have clients with certain branding guidelines and font types for their content which seems i wont be able to achieve when building in Rise? How on earth did the developers of this product not understand that we might need this flexibility? I love how simple it is and easy to use but seriously you need to be able to customize much more of the content.

Hi Tim, 

We're working on some new features to Rise that would answer some of these customization items. For example, custom Fonts and font colors - scheduled for Q3 (July - Sept) this year. 

Are there other areas you'd like to see updates or changes? I'd love to know a bit more and you can share here or send along a Feature requests here.

If you’re wondering what happens when you submit a feature request, here’s our process.

Looking for a quick answer to this question.. If we design in storyline 360 and lock the orientation to portrait when viewing on mobile devices, can the learner still turn landscape to view video full screen?

no it will be occluded by the orientation instructions

Okay. Just to verify because I might have worded my question wrong. We want to lock the orientation of the course to portrait but enable full screen landscape when viewing a video within the course...just the video. Is that possible? Sorry for any confusion.

Hi Dave,

If you lock the orientation for the course as a whole that will also impact videos that you insert into your course. You could try linking to the videos so that they'd open as a separate window or tab and that one would allow you to turn it landscape and use the video controls (say on Youtube) to launch it full screen.

That makes sense. Can you lock orientation on a slide by slide basis or is it all or nothing? Curious if I can lock everything but the video slides.

It's an all or nothing setting as it's controlled for the entire course.
