Scrubbing the timeline
Is there a way to scrub the play head on the timeline so you can see your animation in action without previewing or hitting the play button on the bottom left corner? I find these 2 methods highly inefficient especially when I'm only making minor adjustments and want to see how they look right away.

No, and if you start the preview with the playhead in the middle of the timeline, most likely your timing will not be accurate. :(
Hi Jai,
Unfortunately there isn't a way to preview those elements via scrubbing, so you'll need to use the timeline play button or choose to preview just one slide.
I've submitted a feature request. I find scrubbing a very useful feature in other software I use.
Thanks Jai for submitting.
Has scrubbing been added as a 360 feature yet?
Thanks for letting us know you're interested in this feature, Henry! It's not a feature in Storyline 360 yet, but we're keeping track of the requests, so I appreciate you adding your voice here. Here's a bit more about how our feature request process works!

Everyone at my company who uses Storyline would kill to have this feature. It would save us all so much time. I'm sure if it were added to SL360, we'd all upgrade. Thank you!
Hi Fred,
Thanks for adding your voice to this request! I know this feature has been requested for a bit, but I don't yet have an update on it. As soon as we do, I promise we'll let folks know.
Hi Ashley, thank you! Would it help if I got the people in my company who use Storyline to also submit requests? There are quite a few of us...
Hi Fred,
We're always happy to have more folks weigh in on the importance of a feature. It really helps our team determine priority and how that would impact individuals course design. You can always share those ideas and requests through a feature request here!
