Size of Storyline block in Rise - Help!
Is there a way to control the size of how a Storyline interaction inside of a Rise block appears? Despite me setting the Storyline width size to small and using no padding, my Storyline files created at 720 px X 405 px (16 X 9) appear on a desktop monitor (in my case a resolution of 1280 X 1024) so large that people have to scroll to see the top and bottom of it.

Hi Ashley,
Its been quite a while and I was hoping to hear back from you on how this issue might be addressed. Looking forward to your response..thanks!
Rather than maximize available space, I'd actually like to minimize the block height. My use case is that I'm creating a storyline block for back end code/tracking purposes. Since the block doesn't contain any visual content, I'd like to make it as small as possible. The minimum Storyline publish size is 100x100, but Rise scales way beyond that even with its 'small' setting for the block. Any possibility or workaround to achieve what I'm after? Thanks.
I've experienced similar challenges with projects and would like to see if a solution is discovered or created.
Hi Melissa,
I’m sorry that you’re having some trouble here.
The quickest way to resolve this issue is to have our Support Team take a look. You can submit a case here.
In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
Does anyone know of a thread discussing the size of Rise blocks embedded into Storyline 360? Basically the opposite direction of the situation listed here.
I find that the responsive design of RISE blocks embedded into Storyline makes the user interaction difficult/confusing (i.e. not all information listed on page or interactions spread across screens making drag/drop difficult, etc.).
Does anyone have a trick up their sleeve?
Thanks!
Hi Rachel,
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what you're wanting to do here. Could you be more specific?
Let me know and we'll go from there.
Does anyone know the largest storyline slide size that is possible to import within Rise? I'm creating an interaction in SL to go into Rise and have a lot of information I need to include so wondering what the largest slide size is that I could get away with
Hi Emma!
We don't set a limit on the slide dimensions within a Storyline Block, since Rise 360 will scale down the slide to fit within the block.
To give the Storyline Block more real estate in your lesson, use the full-width setting. Here's how:
- Hover over the Storyline block and click the Edit button that appears.
- When the sidebar opens, go to the Settings tab, then choose Full Width from the drop-down list.
Hi Lorraine!
Have you tried changing the width of the Storyline block in Rise 360?
- Hover over the Storyline block and click the Edit button that appears.
- When the sidebar opens, go to the Settings tab, then choose a Storyline Width from the drop-down list. Small or Medium should work best for you.
Let me know if that helps!
Hi everyone,
I also have a problem with the size of my embeded Sl file in Rise, but the other way around: I want it bigger than it currently is. I already changed the settings to full width in Rise and in the desktop preview it is full screen but in the tablet view it is suddenly smaller. The black "preview" before I hit play is perfect but then my slide starts and for some reason that is much smaller. I can`t figure out why. I already tried to scale up the publishing format in Sl but that didn`t change anything. Is there smething I don`t see?
Here a link to the example: https://rise.articulate.com/share/HuKVDhgqgLNbwmpZdhdDmLPohSfpiqnI
Attached you can find two screenshots of what it looks like on a tablet before and anfter I hit play.
I`m thankful for your thoughts and ideas.
Best,
Marlene
Hi there, Marlene! I can see the white space around the slide content in the tablet view. It looks like the slide content is not filling all the available player space in Storyline. So, at first glance, it looks like it isn't a problem with the amount of space that Rise 360 is giving to the Storyline block, but an issue between the slide content and the Storyline player.
We can have a look with your permission. You can share your .story file here with us for testing, and we'll delete your files when we're done troubleshooting.
Hi All,
Has anyone found a solution for this, i myself have used a SL file which is 405x540 and in rise its huge even using the small fit. Which means users have to navigate the scroll bars to use correctly?
TIA

Hi there, Glen!
It sounds like your Storyline 360 slide is scaling up to fit the Storyline Block container, and that is forcing learners to scroll to view the full slide.
You may want to try locking the player at optimal size so that the slide won't scale up in Rise 360. Keep in mind this option is only available with the Classic Player.
Let me know if that works for you!
The small, medium, and full width settings in Rise are overriding the lock at optimal size setting within SL360.
I don't understand why it has been several years and no solution to this resizing issue. Clearly there is something in the way Rise sets it;s container for the full-width option in particular as this issue occurs on monitors of all sizes and resolutions, be it external monitors or laptops.
