Peek 360 automatically uploads videos toReview 360 with a unique URL, making them easy to share. Install Authoring Apps You can install the current version of any authoring app with a single click, or you can go back to a previous version when there's a design change or new feature that you're not ready to use. How to Install the Latest Version of an App Open the Articulate 360 desktop app by clicking the icon in your computer’s system tray (by the clock), then click the Install button for any of the desktop-authoring apps: Storyline 360, Studio 360, Replay 360, or Peek 360. It’s that easy! You’ll see a progress bar for each app while it’s installing, then the Install button will change to an Open button when the installation is complete. How to Install a Previous Version of an App There might be times when you need to install a previous version of an authoring app. For example, if there’s a new Storyline 360 feature that you’re not ready to use, you can go back to an older version of the app until you have time to learn more about the new feature. Here’s how. Open the Articulate 360 desktop app and mouse-over the app you want to change. Click the drop-down arrow that appears and choose Other Versions. A list of all the versions released in the past six months will appear. Click Install for the version you want to install. An optional "Product Feedback" dialog will appear. After your selection, the dialog will close and your chosen version will automatically install. (Tip: Click any date or version number in the list to see the change log for that release.) When you install a previous version of an app, you’ll see an Updates Paused tag in the Articulate 360 desktop app, as shown below. This is a visual reminder that you’re using an older version of that app. Future updates won’t install for paused apps when you click Update All. To update an app that’s paused, click Updates Paused, choose Other Versions from the menu that appears, and click Install for the most recent version of the app. Launch Authoring Apps One way to launch your authoring apps is to open the Articulate 360 desktop app by clicking the icon in your computer’s system tray (by the clock) and then click the Open button for the app you want to use. (When you click the Open button for Studio 360, you’ll see a menu where you can choose Presenter 360, Quizmaker 360, or Engage 360.) Another way to launch your authoring apps is to go to your computer’s Start menu and click the app you want to use. Peek 360 Tip Peek 360 runs in the background, so the fastest way to start a screen recording is to click the Peek 360 icon in your computer’s system tray (by the clock). Update Authoring Apps One of the benefits of an Articulate 360 subscription is that you get continuous updates when new features are available. If notifications are enabled in your preferences, you’ll get a Windows notification, like the one shown below, when an update is available. And even if notifications are disabled, you’ll always see when an update is available as soon as you open the Articulate 360 desktop app. A blue banner with an update option appears across the top of the app. If you’ve disabled automatic updates, you can snooze this notification. Otherwise, simply click the Update All button to update all your apps at the same time. Or, click Update Available next to any app and choose Install Update to update one app at a time, as shown below. How to Update Paused Apps When youinstall a previous version of an app, you’ll see an Updates Paused tag for that particular app, as shown below. Clicking the blue Update All button won’t update paused apps. To update an app that’s paused, click Updates Paused, choose Other Versions from the menu that appears, and click Install for the most recent version of the app. Uninstall Authoring Apps Uninstalling apps is just as easy as installing them. Mouse-over an app, click the drop-down arrow that appears, and choose the Uninstall option. (Tip: You can also uninstall Articulate apps via the Windows control panel.)

Replay 360: Editing Videos, Audio Clips, and Images
In this tutorial, you’ll learn to use the new editing features in Replay 360 to trim, split, cut, delete, silence, and adjust the volume of media clips. Watch this video demonstration, then follow the activities below to practice. Practice Activities: Trim the Beginning or Ending of a Media Clip Split a Media Clip into Two Segments Cut Out Part of a Media Clip and Stitch the Remaining Segments Back Together Delete Part of a Media Clip and Keep the Remaining Segments Separate Silence Part of a Media Clip Change the Volume of a Media Clip Practice Activity: Trim the Beginning or Ending of a Media Clip Open the Replay_360_Practice.replay project in your practice files. Select any media clip in the timeline. Drag the left end of the object to trim the beginning or drag the right end to trim the ending. Practice Activity: Split a Media Clip into Two Segments Sometimes it’s helpful to split an audio clip, video, or image into two or more segments to have more control over the timing of elements in your project. Click the timeline at the point where you want to split a media clip. The playhead will move to that point on the timeline. Select the media clip. (This activates the editing features on the ribbon.) Click Split on the ribbon. Voilà! Now your media clip has been split into two objects. Practice Activity: Cut Out Part of a Media Clip and Stitch the Remaining Segments Back Together Now let’s use the enhanced playhead to cut out part of a media clip. Drag the purple time-range markers to outline a portion of a media clip that you want to remove. Select the media clip. (This activates the editing features on the ribbon.) Hover over the Cut button on the ribbon to see a preview of what it’ll do to your selected media clip. Now click Cut on the ribbon to remove the selected portion of your media clip. You’ll see a dashed, vertical line on the media clip to indicate where the selection was removed and the remaining segments were stitched back together. Practice Activity: Delete Part of a Media Clip and Keep the Remaining Segments Separate The new delete feature works like the split and cut features combined. In other words, you can cut out part of a media clip, but the remaining segments won’t be stitched back together. They’ll remain split. Drag the purple time-range markers to outline a portion of a media clip that you want to remove. Select the media clip. (This activates the editing features on the ribbon.) Click Delete on the ribbon. Practice Activity: Silence Part of a Media Clip Let’s silence part of a media clip. Drag the purple time-range markers to outline a portion of the webcam video that you want to silence. Select the webcam video in your practice file. (This activates the editing features on the ribbon.) Hover over the Silence button on the ribbon to see a preview of what it’ll do to your media clip. Now click Silence on the ribbon. Practice Activity: Change the Volume of a Media Clip Select the webcam video in your practice file. Select Manual in the volume options on the right side of the screen. Use the volume slider to adjust the volume of the media clip. Summary In this tutorial, you learned how to use the new editing features in Replay 360 to tweak your audio clips, videos, and images until your project is just right. To learn more about editing media clips, see this user guide. In the next tutorial, we’ll publish a Replay 360 project.

Replay 360: Publishing a Project
Publish Replay 360 projects toReview 360 to collect feedback from stakeholders, or publish them as MP4 videos on your local computer so you can add them to your e-learning courses. Here’s how. Publishing to Review 360 Publishing to a Video File What Dimensions Will My Published Project Be? Publishing to Review 360 Click Publish on the ribbon. When the Publish window opens, choose the Review 360 tab on the left. (If youhave an Articulate 360 tab instead of Review 360,update Replay 360to see all the latest enhancements. We changed the name to Review 360 onJanuary 23, 2019.) Choose to publish a new item or update an existing item: Create a new item: Mark this option to publish a brand new content item to Review 360, then give it a title. (The title defaults to the name of your project file. You can change the title of your published project here without affecting the name of your project file.) Publish a new version of an existing item: Mark this option to update an existing content item located in your personal orteam folderin Review 360, then select the item you want to update. (Review 360 keeps track of version history, so you can always view previously-published versions of the content item.) Click Publish. Your project gets published and uploaded to Review 360 all at once. How fast this happens depends on the size of your project and your internet speed. When the Publish Successful dialog appears, click View Published Content to open Review 360 in your default web browser and manage the video you just uploaded. Distributing Your Published Project: To give viewers access to your published video: Open your web browser to your Review 360 home page and click your video to open it. Click Share in the upper right corner. If you want to password-protect your video, mark the box to Set a password and enter a password in the field provided. Copy the shareable link, then send it to your viewers. Be sure to give them the password, too, if you added one. If you don’t want viewers to post comments on your video, click the ellipsis (...) button in the upper right corner and choose Disable comments. Note: Although share links are public, we prevent search engines from indexing our site so they won’t be searchable. However, if you post these links on a public web page, they may be indexed by a search engine. To protect confidential information, set a password or limit access to specific users. Learn more about using Review 360. Publishing to a Video File Click Publish on the ribbon. When the Publish window opens, choose the Video File tab on the left. Give your project a file name. (It's best to use only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores. Don't use spaces or special characters.)The maximum length for aproject nameis 80 characters. Browse to a location on your local hard drive where you want to publish. Click Publish. When the Publish Successful dialog appears, you can play the video immediately or open the folder where it was published. Replay encodes your projects as MP4 videos, so they’re perfect for embedding in e-learning courses or uploading to the web as standalone projects. What Dimensions Will My Published Project Be? Your Replay project will be as wide as your widest video clip and as tall as your tallest video clip. Video clips and images that are smaller than these dimensions will be centered on the stage and scaled up. For example, let's say you add two video clips to a Replay project. One is 1,920 x 1,080. The other is 1,280 x 720. Replay will publish an MP4 file that is 1,920 x 1,080 (matching your largest video clip), and the smaller of your video clips will be scaled up to 1,920 x 1,080. Since scaling can lower the quality of your published output, we recommend using video clips with the same dimensions.

How to Decide Which Articulate 360 App to Use for Screen Recording
Since software training is one of the most common types of e-learning, it’s no surprise that Articulate 360 includes not one, not two, but three apps with screen recording features. Each of these apps has a unique feature set and is specifically designed for a different purpose. If you’re wondering which app to use for your project, you’re in the right place! Keep reading to learn more about how screen recording differs in Peek 360, Replay 360, and Storyline 360 and the types of projects best suited for each. Peek 360 Peek 360 is a lightweight app that works natively on both Macs and PCs and lives in your menu bar or system tray, so it’s always just a click away. Once you’ve recorded your screen, it automatically uploads to Review 360, generating a shareable link. You can also download the .MP4 file and insert the video into your Rise 360 or Storyline 360 courses or export it for LMS to use it as a stand-alone asset. Since Peek 360 doesn’t have editing capabilities, it’s best for recording short screencasts to share with team members on the fly or to insert into your courses as is. Check out our tutorials and user guide for more details on how to create and distribute screencasts with Peek 360. Replay 360 If you’re looking to create a longer screencast that could require some editing, Replay 360 might be a better choice. In addition to some lightweight editing options, this Windows-compatible desktop app allows you to record your screen and your webcam simultaneously, creating a cool picture-in-picture effect. You can also insert images, video clips, and lower thirds, making it easy to create a polished tutorial video that you can use on its own or insert into your Rise 360 or Storyline 360 course. For more information on Replay 360, check out our tutorials and user guide. Storyline 360 Storyline 360 also allows you to record your screen, but unlike Peek 360 and Replay 360, that’s not its sole purpose. Storyline 360 is a full-fledged authoring app that not only lets you record screencasts and build software simulations but also lets you add custom interactions, quizzes, and much more. This makes Storyline 360 the ideal choice when you want your software training to be interactive. It’s also a great option if you want to overlay text or objects—like arrows or highlight zones—on top of your video. Storyline 360 has some editing capabilities, allowing you to make adjustments to your recording after the fact. You can also easily add subtitles to your screencast—and your entire course—directly in Storyline 360, which is great for accessibility. When you’re done, you can publish to video, web, or LMS. If you want to take a closer look at the screen recording feature in Storyline 360, check out this tutorial or head on over to the user guide. The Bottom Line Peek 360, Replay 360, and Storyline 360 are all great options for recording your screen. Which app you use depends on your project requirements. If you need to record a screencast super-fast, Peek 360 is the way to go. When you want to edit your screencast or record your webcam along with it, go with Replay 360. And when you want to create an interactive software simulation, overlay additional content, or add subtitles to your screen recording, opt for Storyline 360. To make it super-easy to compare the feature-sets of the different apps, I pulled together this quick-reference guide: Peek 360 Replay 360 Storyline 360 Work natively on Macs X Work natively on PCs X X X Record screen X X X Record mic audio X X X Record webcam X X* Edit recording X X Add interactivity X Add closed captions X Publish to video (.MP4) X X X Publish for LMS X** X** X Publish to Review 360 X X X Once you’ve decided which app to use, you might be wondering how to start building your software training.

Replay 360: Working with the Timeline
In this tutorial, you’ll learn to use the timeline in Replay 360 to rearrange media clips on two tracks, add media mixes, and display lower thirds. Watch this video demonstration, then follow the activities below to practice. Practice Activities: Rearrange Media Clips Add Media Mixes Add Lower Thirds Practice Activity: Rearrange Media Clips Let’s begin by rearranging a few objects on the timeline. Open the Replay_360_Practice.replay project in your practice files. Reverse the order of the media clips in the timeline so the title-screen image is at the beginning of the timeline and the desktop screencast and webcam video are at the end. Tip: First, drag the screencast/webcam object to the end of the timeline, then drag the title screen to the beginning. Then drag the objects together on the timeline until a diagonal line appears between clips. Tip: The diagonal line means the adjacent clips will smoothly fade from one to the next. Vertical lines between clips mean the transition will be abrupt and immediate. To learn more, see these user guides: Rearranging Objects on the Timeline Adjusting the Timing and Duration of Objects Practice Activity: Add Media Mixes Use media mixes to control how videos and images on both tracks interact with one another. Flip smoothly between the tracks or show both tracks at the same time with a picture-in-picture mode. Let’s pick up where we left off in the previous activity (see above). To mix videos and images effectively, you need to have them on both tracks in the timeline. Let’s drag the Video.mp4 object down to the beginning of track B so it’s beneath the title-screen image. Then move the screencast/webcam object to the left until a diagonal line appears between it and the Video.mp4 object. Now we’re ready to add mixes. Mixes always get added at the point on the timeline where the playhead is currently located. Move the playhead to the beginning of the timeline, then click the A+B mix button. This makes track A fill the canvas (in this case, the title-screen image) and track B appears in the corner of the stage. Click the A+B mix that you just added in the timeline to select it. (It’ll be light blue when it’s selected.) Then select one of the picture-in-picture quadrants to control where track B appears on the canvas. Fun, right? Now move the playhead to the end of the title-screen image and click the B mix button. This fills the stage with the Video.mp4 object when the title screen disappears. Let’s add one more mix. Move the playhead to the beginning of the desktop-screencast object and click the A+B mix button. There’s probably an A mix at the end of the timeline in the sample project we’ve been using in this activity. It might work well in this case, but if you don’t want it, just right-click it and choose Delete selected items. Preview your project to see how it looks with the media mixes you added. Move the playhead to the beginning of the timeline and click the play/pause button above the timeline. If you want to tweak the timings of your mixes, just drag the diagonal lines between mixes. So easy! To learn more about mixing media in Replay 360, see this user guide. Practice Activity: Add Lower Thirds Lower thirds are semi-transparent graphics that overlay the bottom of your project. They display brief comments or supporting information. Let’s add a lower third to the beginning of our project to introduce the video topic. Click the timeline around the 1-second mark. The playhead will move to the point where you clicked. Click Lower Third on the ribbon. A lower third will be added to the timeline where the playhead is located. Lower thirds default to 5 seconds in duration, but you can adjust them. Drag the right end of your lower third until it’s 4 seconds long and ends at the same time as the title-screen image. Use the Lower Third Properties panel on the right side of the screen to give your lower third a title, subtitle, logo, and transition type (animation). Now see how your lower third looks in action. Move the playhead to the beginning of the timeline and click the play/pause button above the timeline to preview your project. To learn more about lower thirds, see this user guide. Summary In this tutorial, you learned how to use the timeline in Replay 360 to control the placement and timing of objects, add media mixes, and display lower thirds. In the next tutorial, we’ll use the new editing features to tweak our media clips.

Replay 360: Editing Media
You can edit videos, audio clips, and images until your Replay 360 training video is just right. Here’s how. Trimming a Media Clip Splitting a Media Clip Cutting Out Part of a Media Clip and Splicing the Remaining Segments Back Together Deleting Part of a Media Clip and Keeping the Remaining Segments Separate Silencing Part of a Media Clip Adjusting the Volume of a Media Clip Trimming a Media Clip You can drag the left or right edge of a video or audio clip on the timeline to change its duration. This actually trims or truncates the clip, which is useful if you need to remove the beginning or ending of the clip. Splitting a Media Clip You can split a video clip, an audio clip, or an image into two or more segments so you have more control over the timing of elements in your project. To split a media clip into two segments, click the timeline at the point where you want it to split. The playhead will move to that point on the timeline. To split a media clip into three segments, drag the purple time range markers to the points where you want it to split. Click the media clip to select it. Click Split on the ribbon. Cutting Out Part of a Media Clip and Splicing the Remaining Segments Back Together When you cut a media clip, the selected portion gets removed and the remaining portions get spliced back together. Drag one of the purple time range markers to the beginning of the portion you want to cut. Drag the other time range marker to the end of the portion you want to cut. Select the media clip. Click Cut on the ribbon. Tip: Double-click the playhead to reset the purple time range markers to their original positions beside the playhead. Deleting Part of a Media Clip and Keeping the Remaining Segments Separate The delete feature works like the split and cut features combined. In other words, you can cut out part of a media clip, but the remaining segments won’t be spliced back together. They’ll remain split. Drag one of the purple time range markers to the beginning of the segment you want to delete. Drag the other time range marker to the end of the segment you want to delete. Click the media clip. Click Delete on the ribbon. Tip: Double-click the playhead to reset the purple time range markers to their original positions beside the playhead. Silencing Part of a Media Clip You can use the enhanced playhead to replace part of a media clip with silence. Drag one of the purple time range markers to the beginning of the portion you want to silence. Drag the other time range marker to the end of the portion you want to silence. Select the media clip. Click Silence on the ribbon. Tip: Double-click the playhead to reset the purple time range markers to their original positions beside the playhead. Adjusting the Volume of a Media Clip Select a video or an audio clip, then choose one of the volume options in the panel on the right side of the screen: Mute This mutes the selected media clip. Automatic This maintains the clip's original volume. Manual This lets you adjust the volume with a slider.
