    Hi, all!

    I have some great news to share! We just released a new version of Storyline 360 (Update 103), which included a fix for the issue where screen readers didn't always announce the visited state of buttons or shapes.

    To take advantage of this update, simply launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find step-by-step instructions here.

    Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or reaching out to our Support Engineers directly. We'll be happy to help!

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I was not clear in my comment. I meant AUTOMATICALLY with editing the alt text for the state. In other words, it does not seem to read the built in state such as "visited, or "selected"

Hello Susan!

That is correct. The states aren't automatically added in the alt text for each state. I'm happy to share this with my team in the form of a feature request. I'll update you in this discussion when it's added to our feature roadmap.
