Scrubbing the timeline : actual view ?
Hello,
I think it would be great if you could scrub the timeline in Storyline.
Being used to Flash, I find having all object at once confusing (and actually I don't see the point apart from a visual mess).
The problem is you can't see what you actullay get under playhead unless you play your scene.
Could you consider having a mode where you only see on stage what's under the playhead ? I recently had a busy timeline with many speech bubbles and I spend my time hiding/unhiding layer to get everything in place.
What do you think ?
Sounds great Stephen - this thread has been attached to the request so if we have an update, you should get a notification as well :)

Ha! Well said, Ms. Murphy.
Hi Katherine,
Oh gosh! Invoking the dead dog...that may have brought me to tears. 😕
I'd hope it's nowhere near as sad as that! To give you a little insight into the why, our team has recently changed how we report, track and advocate for features and we follow the method outlined here. We also know with the shift to Articulate 360 that we needed to roll out continuous features and updates, and the subscription service allows us to do that.
The reason this has received another look is because of some other features or fixes that would be connected. As our team digs into this deeper, then they'll determine where this fits in our roadmap. We don't share that roadmap publicly, but we'll share as much as we can when we can.
You can certainly unsubscribe from the forum discussion here (Click on Subscribed at the top) - it can be a lot of emails (I know that first hand!). If you do, you may want to bookmark things like our “What’s New” page, and the Articulate Storyline version history.
I hope that helps clarify, and if I can help with anything else please let me know!

Hi Ashley,
Thanks for your answser but we're still beating around the bush!
Your links deal with general stuff, not particular points.
I totally agree with Katherine point of view.
This is the "scrubbing the timeline" thread, is there a better place for information?
Just tell us "Yes, we're working on it but it takes a long time because..." or "No, this would involve core modifications to SL so...".
Thanks.
Hi Pierre,
You're in the right place for updates and information, and I'm sorry if the info I've shared has felt vague.
We don't share dates or timelines on features. Once a feature is slated for release, we'll be happy to let you know, but until that time comes every feature is a possibility. Even if we've determined it's not viable right now, we'll continue to keep track of requests and impact as that will change the priority and allow our team to take a second look.
That’s exactly what’s happening right now with this potential feature and we’ll keep you updated as we make progress.

This thread is five years old!
It has seen more than two versions of Storyline (SL2, SL360, SL3) but there hasn't been the tiniest bit of information about this feature.
Maybe we deserve some news as a birthday present?
I think after five years you might have a clear idea about implementing this feature or not.
Hi Pierre,
We haven't changed the process for sharing our roadmap or information on new features to be added to Storyline. If and when this one is ready, our team has tagged this discussion and others to share the news.

And now I miss my dog.

Sorry Katherine!
You'd better unsubscribe this thread or prepare yourself for the same alert next year ;-)

Absolutely need this feature to optimize productivity while working in 360 --- making a tweak, then having to preview, then going back, tweaking again.... far too time-consuming.
Piping up here to keep this topic 'fresh' -- I will submit a feature request. - TedCoffmanCommunity Member
I would like to add my voice to the chorus already taking place: Please add this feature soon.
I almost hate to do so, knowing that Katherine will be reminded of her dog. Now, I too am thinking of my dog from 5 years ago.... This truly is a sad situation - perfect analogy!
Can anyone on staff at Articulate provide any further information about this potential feature update?
