Set Your Preferences
- There are two ways to access your preferences. Open the Articulate 360 desktop app, then click the drop-down arrow in the upper right corner and choose Preferences. Or, right-click the Articulate 360 icon in your computer's system tray (by the clock) and choose Preferences.
- The first thing you’ll see is the version number of your Articulate 360 desktop app. This information is helpful when you’re working with Articulate Support on an issue.
- Notifications are enabled by default. You’ll get Windows notifications, like the one shown below, for Articulate 360 events, such as when new updates are available. If you’d prefer not to see these notifications, uncheck the Show notifications box.
- Automatic updates are enabled by default, saving you time and ensuring you always have the latest enhancements. If you'd prefer not to install updates automatically, uncheck the box to Install updates automatically for the Articulate 360 desktop app. (If you don't see this option, it either means your Articulate 360 desktop app is out of date, or your organization has disabled automatic updates.)
- You can help improve Articulate 360 desktop products by sending usage data to our servers. We analyze feature metrics and error reports from Articulate 360 desktop products as well as device and browser data when learners view published output.

- Want to change the interface language for your Articulate 360 apps? Choose your preferred language from the drop-down list, click Save, then restart all your Articulate apps, including the Articulate 360 desktop app itself. (To restart the Articulate 360 desktop app, right-click the Articulate 360 icon in your system tray by the clock and choose Quit. Then launch it again from your desktop shortcut or your Start menu.)
The language setting controls the interface language for the Articulate 360 desktop app, Storyline 360, Studio 360, Replay 360, and Peek 360. - If your organization is behind a proxy server that requires you to enter security credentials to access Articulate 360 services, switch your Proxy setting to Manual, then enter your username and password in the fields that appear, as shown above.
- When you've finished updating your preferences, click Save.
