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 ?

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.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?
Any good news or new workaround on this issue?
Hi Manoel,
We don’t have plans on our roadmap for the ability to scrub the timeline right now, but we appreciate you letting us know this is important to you!
We’ll update this discussion if our plans change in the future.
After 6 years...
Looks like the majority of SL users never used software where you can scrub timeline otherwise this would be very high on their wish-list.
I still avoid syncing elements as much as I can in SL because it's a real nightmare.
Here we are 2 years later and it seems we still can't scrub the timeline. Surely this is working its way up the list?
