Storyline 360: New Project Accessible Template

We want you to be able to create accessible e-learning courses effortlessly. Starting with a new, issue-free project template is the right way to begin.

In the May 2025 update for Storyline 360, we changed the defaults for new projects to prevent the following five common accessibility issues:

Scene title defined. Since scene titles should have distinctive names to give screen reader users context, we changed “Untitled Scene” to “Intro Scene” to give your project a clearer starting point.

Slide title defined. Slide titles should also have distinctive names so screen readers know what to expect from the slide content. We renamed “Untitled Slide” to “Intro Slide” to simplify organizing your content.

Play/pause button enabled. To give learners control over course playback, the play/pause button should be enabled. We enabled the play/pause button by default in the player controls so learners can start and stop content as needed.

Playback speed control enabled. The course playback speed control should be enabled to empower learners to explore content at their own pace, so we also turned it on by default. That way, learners can choose slower or faster playback for better understanding.

Text upgraded. New projects now start with upgraded text, which includes text autofit improvements and accessible text. Learn more about upgraded text. This change helps screen readers interpret content correctly, ensuring readability for all learners.
