Storyline 360 Collaboration Possibility?

Hello, Arin! 

Collaboration in Rise and Storyline are a bit different. Let's explore the options in each one!

• In Rise, collaborators can create and edit different lessons in a course at the same time or take turns fine-tuning the same lesson. As you mentioned, Rise will let you know who is working on what lesson. 
• In Storyline 360, team members can create a library of shared team slides that everyone can access right from Storyline 360. But unlike Rise, only one person can work inside a Storyline file at a time. 
  
  I would suggest having each team member work on one section of the Storyline course in separate files. Once each section is complete, share the slides with the whole team. Then, combine all the shared slides into one final project!

Hello Alyssa,

Thank you so much for this information!

This was very helpful, considering our projects we will have a little bit more trouble working on separate sections, but we may be able to coordinate better now knowing that only one person can be in certain modules at one time. 

We will communicate who is working in which module, and when, so that our edits are saved. 

Thank you!

Happy to help, Arin! And as you're collaborating with your team, be sure to share any feedback you may have on how we can make Teams collaboration process and features even better! 🌟

Any changes on collaborative work in Storyline 360 for 2020? 

Hi Manoel!

We don't have any upcoming changes to share publicly but we love hearing new ideas. Is there a specific feature you're looking for?

As always, you can share ideas with us in the form of a feature request!

It would be nice if access to review-publishing and Rise-embedding could be shared by collaborators (or in a user group).

We are working on a project with 10 Storyline courses with multiple users. Feedback on the modules can be processed by any user, but only the first publishing user can publish a new version of the same course and only this user can embed the storyline object in a Rise module.

Are there any plans to improve this (or are there options available already that we don't know about)?

Kind regards,
Joris

I second the above request. Thanks, Joris. This is a major usability issue as team members transition in and out of a L&D team.

Our team is new to Storyline 360 and while we've figured out to assign each scene to a different developer, it's not an ideal collaboration situation. I can't make changes to my colleagues scenes as she is the original owner of her project and vice versa. So there is a lot of copy and paste going on once we find which slides were updated in the other project. 

Ideally, we would be able to have one project, therefore only one working file, that all team members can update. We're currently collaborating this way in spreadsheets, documents, presentations, etc. but not in Storyline. 

Hi Christina!

I hear exactly what you're saying and shared the comments with our team!

Since Storyline 360 is a desktop-based application there aren't ways for real-time collaborating like there is in Rise 360 which is a cloud-based application.

However, you could try to use Team Slides so there is a consistent theme throughout each individual project!

Good morning, Christina!

Thanks for taking the time to walk us through your team's process! It helps us understand the need for enhanced Teams collaboration features. I'll highlight your insight with the right folks and let you know of any changes.
