    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 confirming this issue. I did import an image file and the JAWS screen reader did state "visited" on the Visited state whereas the button does not.

Hi Kenny,

Thanks for sharing what you see on your end! Unfortunately, this confirms that you're also experiencing the reported bug. We'll let you know when this is fixed and the button's Visited state is read as expected.

In the meantime, I'm sharing this information on how we tackle bugs.

Thank you, Kenny!
