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.

It's super easy to arrange objects on the Replay 360 visual timeline, which includes two parallel tracks. Here’s how. Reordering Objects on the Same Track Moving Media Between Tracks Deleting Objects Reordering Objects on the Same Track To change the order of objects on the same track, simply drag them left or right to a new location. You can reorder lower thirds, videos, audio clips, and images. When two items are back-to-back on the same track, a vertical boundary between them means the transition will be immediate and abrupt. If you push the two clips even closer together, their boundary will change to a diagonal line, which means one item will fade smoothly into the next. Moving Media Between Tracks You can move videos, audio clips, and images between the two media tracks. Just drag them up or down to an empty spot on the adjacent track. Tip: If both tracks include videos and/or images, you can control how they interact with one another. For example, you might choose a picture-in-picture mode. See Mixing Media for details.
