Storyline update has broken accessibility

I have updated Articulate storyline to the latest version and now all of the hidden graphics are reading out when testing with JAWS. Artifacts on the Slide master that are hidden and all graphics that are on the main pages but not included in the focus order. I just test with a colleague at work who has not incorporated the latest update and the screen reader is reading the correct focus order. Can you please advise??

  • Hello Kirsten and Marie,

    Good news! Our product team applied the fix to the behavior you reported where screen readers read hidden objects from the focus order. We just released an update for Storyline 360, Build 3.88.32574.0, with this fix.

    Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to enjoy this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. Please let us know if you need additional help.
