Is there any way to increase the character count in a scenario block? 150-200 character limit is very frustrating. I think if you give us the option of changing the font size and increasing our character count it would make it so much better. A lot of my scenarios are technicians having conversations with customers, but the character count really limits me. I can not do a lot of scenarios because of the character limit. Please fix this!
While I hear -- and appreciate -- your frustration, if you are clever about chunking the conversations/text you CAN make it work over several slides. I have grown to look at the character count limitations as a way for Articulate to help us practice solid design techniques by NOT including too much text on a page. (I have successfully retrained my brain to look at it this way...LOL!)
Yeah, I hear you. I have trained my brain for this as well because I do not have a choice, but it would be nice to have it bumped up to at least 300. The replies are set at 150, and the questions are maxed at 200. I think 300 for each would not affect the presentation in my opinion.
Throw my vote in! I feel like upping the count to at least 300 wouldn't cause issues visually. Either that or if a certain character count is reached the text could continue into a new speech bubble, thereby resolving any speech bubble size problems.
Because of the character limits, what other ways are you presenting content in Rise? I am currently attempting to re-create phone scenarios for technicians, and the character limit is unable to support my responses. I would ideally like technicians to be able to have response options.
Count my vote too! The character count is incredibly small. While I appreciate brevity, some context is at times required which necessitates more text.
I echo this request. Even using Chat GPT does not get my field statements succinct enough to meet many character limits. This needs to be resolved please!
I too echo this request, I am currently using Bard to chunk the conversation down to the character limits but it is impacting the experience I want to create

Thanks for that context, Joe. I'll make sure to tag this discussion so we can update you with any changes.
Karin - I really appreciate your positive attitude! 😄
I have to agree that having 300 characters would be really helpful in creating richer scenarios.
I really agree with this. Our team uses scenarios a lot and we'd be able to get a lot more out of them if there were a bit more flexibility here.

Me as well!!! 350 :)
I'm sure there are at least 300 users out there that would like this count to be 300.. One for each character :-)
I basically avoid this block because of this current restriction.

I gave up using these where more text was required due to clients asking why such a simple request can’t be actioned.
Will this ever be addressed ??
