Need Help Displaying Transcripts from Notes via Top Bar Tab
Hi Team, I wanted to create a separate section for transcripts, so I’ve manually added all transcript content into the Notes section of each slide. I then created a "Transcript" tab in the top bar using the player settings. To activate it, I tried using the following script: javascript Copy Edit const transcriptBtn = document.querySelector('.modern-video-control.video-transcript'); if (transcriptBtn && !transcriptBtn.classList.contains('enabled')) { transcriptBtn.click(); } However, this doesn't seem to work — the button appears but doesn’t respond or reveal the Notes content. Is there a way to assign a trigger to the custom "Transcript" tab so it can display the Notes panel? If there’s any workaround or recommended method to accomplish this in the latest version of Storyline, I’d really appreciate your guidance. Thanks in advance!Using Slider with Markers or Hotspots
Am I trying to create something that is impossible? I get so excited with all of the neat tools that Storyline and Rise offer that my imagination runs wild! I was inspired by Tom's parallax effect video to create an interactive floor map of my building for new learners instead of the traditional floor plan. I drafted the map in Canva and then brought the picture into Storyline 360. Due to the size of the picture, (I only have half the floor drafted at this point) I decided to add a slider and make the picture the thumb of the slider. That way I can make the picture bigger on the screen for learners and easier to select the portion of the floor map they want more information on. That part I was able to do, easy peasy (thanks again Tom)! Now comes the hard part that I can't get working. When a department comes into view, I would like the learner to be able to click on a department, which will cause a new layer to appear. I tried using hotspots but as you guessed, as the learner slides left/right the picture moves but not the hotspot. So, I moved on to markers and same thing! I tried making an additional slider which had the name of the department as the thumb and that did not work very well or look right. Am I going down the wrong rabbit hole or am I in the wrong wonderland entirely, one where sliders + hotspots/markers collaboration does not exist? I am attaching a copy of the story in case someone has a better idea.Found the hiding layout master...
To those SL users compulsively obsessed with a clean & tight Slide Master... 📢 Oh, yes... I tried everything, like flagging the layout with a screaming colour, checking all the "real" slides one by one, etc. None worked. Even the much-touted AI couldn't help. Finally, I found the deletable layout hiding behind a pseudo-slide--the 'Draw from Question Bank' "slide" (quite surprised that it actually uses the 'Blank' layout secretly). And with much glee, I pressed the Delete button... and sharing the joy with (the select group of OCD users in) the community 😁 Steps: Go to Story View. Select each "Draw from..." slide (without entering it). Look up & see the "Apply Layout" drop-down box on the ribbon. After Step 2, it would be active now. Click on it. From the drop-down, notice which "Draw..." slide is using the deletable layout that's been bothering you. Apply the new (Blank) layout to that Draw slide. Now, the previously locked, deletable layout is freed. Go to Slide Masters & now delete that offending layout. ✌️Posting Courses for Sale
Previously, my client has sold access to video content that is hosted by a video platform, Brightcove. They had me create a Storyline course for them that they would also like to sell. They don't have an LMS and would like to simply provide links on their Brightcove site that the purchaser would access. The question is, how do they do this without the learner having a URL that they could share with other people? Is there a way? On a related note, what hosting options do you recommend for the actual course files? Thank you!Does Rise truly embed Storyline?
Hi All, We develop training that is viewed by external companies around the world and have had issues when "embedding" other 3rd party block components such as Genially into our Rise courses because the actual file is not truly embedded into the Rise course - it is only linked. Therefore, before I start developing courses where I include Articulate Storyline blocks, I would like to know... when publishing an Articulate Rise 360 course, does it actually embed the Storyline component/file as part of the Articulate Rise course?Effortless Localization with Articulate 360

Hello! This is probably an easy fix, but I'm trying to move a group of things along a path, but then on the next slide, I want it to stay in the end position, not the starting. I have tried reversing the path, then deleting the start point, but it's not working. To clarify, it starts at point A, moves to point B On slide 2 I want the position of the group to already be in position B, with no motion path. Thank you in advance! CharlieDesigning Sleek Animated Callouts in Storyline
Callouts are a great way to highlight key points without cluttering your slides; but making them look sharp can be tricky. In this quick tutorial, I show how I built animated callouts in Storyline that add motion, clarity, and a clean, polished touch to your content. You’ll learn how to tweak animations, positioning, and layout for maximum impact. Watch the tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gZ1PQlvr10 Let me know how you’re using callouts in your own projects!AI Chatbots in Storyline
Chatbots in Storyline? Meet Sarah. What if your eLearning course could talk back? I built an AI-powered chatbot right inside the D-ID app and then designed inside Articulate Storyline, and named her Sarah. She’s more than a character. She’s a smart, interactive course concierge that answers learner questions using your course’s knowledge base. No more digging through PDFs or endless menus; just ask, and Sarah responds. Watch the quick intro: 👉 https://youtu.be/HOLTi-zFNcw?si=14xJYC-0UEFGtnYV Sarah’s just the start of smarter, more human learning in 2025.Designing eLearning Slides with Adobe Firefly AI
Need quick slide design ideas? I use a simple 3-step method with Adobe Firefly and Illustrator to spark layout inspiration fast. First, I sketch a rough mockup in Illustrator. Then I upload it into Firefly, adjust a few settings, and let it generate clean, modern layouts that follow my design logic. It’s not just for fun, these layouts work great in PowerPoint, Camtasia, Storyline, and more. Perfect for course intros, promos, or explainer scenes.
