Rise 360: Translate Your Content
There are almost as many ways to say “Hello” as there are ways to make Rise 360 content. That’s why we make it easy to export your content to an XLIFF file for localization into left-to-right languages and scripts with double-byte character sets. Step 1: Duplicate Your Content The first step is to duplicate the content you want to translate. The duplicate you create will become the translated version. Translating into more than one language? You can make a copy for each one or try out the alternate method below. Step 2: Export the Content as an XLIFF File Open the duplicate content you created in the previous step. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Translations tab. If you don’t need to preserve formatting you’ve applied to your text, deselect Include HTML formatting. This exports your content in easy to translate blocks of text. However, it doesn’t contain the coding necessary to maintain any formatting you’ve applied to that content. Click Export XLIFF File and save the file to your computer. Then use a web app, computer program, or professional translation service to edit your XLIFF file. If Include HTML formatting is selected above, you'll see additional HTML tags and extra spaces in your XLIFF file. Don't panic! These are there to preserve your formatting when you import your translated file in Step 3. Tip: Rise 360 uses XLIFF version 1.2. Step 3: Import Translated Text Got your newly-translated file? Great! Open your duplicate content again. Click Settings in the upper right corner, go to the Translations tab, and click Import Translated Text. Select your translated XLIFF file and click Open. A message displays when yourtext is successfully imported. Why am I seeing an error? If you see an error message that says the “Translation file doesn’t match this course,” make sure you’re in the content from which you originally exported your XLIFF file. The XLIFF file is content-specific, so it can't be exported from one deliverable and imported into another. If you see a different error, the XLIFF file may be incomplete or corrupt. Download a fresh copy of the file and try again. If downloading a fresh copy doesn't work, make surethere aren't any blank section or lesson titles in your course. All section and lesson titles have to have content. Where did my formatting go? If you deselected Include HTML formatting in step 2, any formatting you applied to your content prior to importing the translated file is not retained. And let us know if you have any questions. We’re happy to help! Step 4: Translate Your Labels Don’t forget to translate your buttons and other built-in navigational elements. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Labels tab. For more information on how to translate labels, click here. Translate Training into Multiple Languages Need to translate your training into more than one language? One method is to make multiple copies of the course, then translate those copies. But we like this alternate method since you don't have to keep track of which XLIFF file goes with which training copy. Export your XLIFF file as described in Step 2 above and then duplicate the training so you have a copy in the original language. Translate your XLIFF file into all the languages you need. Import one of the translated XLIFF files to the original training. Duplicate your translated training to have a separate copy. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all additional translations. Voila! We find it's quicker and easier to just "overwrite" your original file and make copies. We think you will too!1.2KViews2likes0CommentsStoryline 360: Publishing a Course for LMS/LRS Distribution
If you’re using a learning management system (LMS), a learning record store (LRS), or both to distribute and track e-learning content, you’ll want to use the LMS/LRS publishing option in Storyline 360. Here’s how. Enter Title, Description, and Folder Location Enter Additional Project Info (Optional) Adjust the Player Properties and Quality Settings Choose to Publish a Slide, a Scene, or the Entire Course Choose Reporting and Tracking Options Publish Distribute Your Published Course Step 1: Enter Title, Description, and Folder Location Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Publish. When the Publish window appears, select the LMS / LRStab on the left. Enter the Title the way you want it to appear in your published output. (If you have a title placeholder on the first slide, the title defaults to the text entered in that title placeholder. If you don’t have a title placeholder on the first slide, the title defaults to the name of your project file. You can change the title of your published course here without affecting the name of your project file or the title placeholder on the first slide.) The maximum length for a project title is 80 characters; the maximum length for each output folder name is eight words. Use the Description field to define the purpose of your course. It won’t appear in your published output. Use the Folder field to choose where you want to publish your course—for example, your computer desktop. Click the ellipsis button (...) to browse to a location. Storyline 360 will create a new folder in that spot with all the files needed to operate your course. Tips: Always publish to your local hard drive. Publishing to a network drive or a USB drive can cause problems with your published output. After publishing to your local hard drive, upload the output to your LMS, LRS, or both for testing and distribution. Install the November 2021 update or later for Storyline 360 to send results to an LRS. Learn more. Step 2: Enter Additional Project Info (Optional) Click the ellipsis button (...) next to the Title field todefine additional project information. Currently, this information is for your reference only. It won’t be visible in your published output. The Title and Description fields are the same as those on the Publish window (see the previous step). The image below the Title fieldisthe course thumbnail. By default, Storyline 360 uses an image of the first slide in your course, but you can choose a different image. Just click the hyperlinked text below the image, then select a different slide or clickPicture from Fileto choose an image on your hard drive. You can enter values for the Author, Email, Website, Duration, Date, Version, and Keywords (separated by commas) fields. The Identifier is a unique string of characters assigned by Storyline 360 that your LMS/LRS uses to identify your course. If you’re republishing a course that’s already in your LMS/LRS, don’t change the value in this field. When you’re finished customizing the project information, click OKto return to the Publish window. Step 3: Adjust the Player Properties and Quality Settings Use the Properties section of the Publish window to make last-minute changes to your course player and quality settings. The Player property shows the name of the player currently assigned to your project. (The player is the frame around your slide content.) To make adjustments to your player, click the player name to open theplayer editor. The Quality property lets you choose adaptive or static video quality and control the compression settings for audio clips, static videos, and JPG images. The quality settings default to whatever you used the last time you published a course. To change them, click the Quality property, make your adjustments, and click OK. There are now two video quality options. Select Adaptive to automatically adjust the video quality (high, medium, or low) to the learner’s internet speed and prevent buffering. Learn more. Choose Static to deliver videos with the same quality to all learners, which could cause buffering. Drag the Static slider to change the video compression. Note that higher values give you higher-quality output but also larger file sizes (which means longer download times for learners with slow connections). Lower values give you smaller file sizes and faster download times, but the quality will be lower as well. Drag the Audio Quality slider to adjust the compression settings Storyline 360 uses for audio. Mark the Optimize audio volume box to normalize audio throughout your course for consistent volume across all slides. Tip: If your course audio already has consistent volume, you can speed up the publishing process by unchecking this option. Drag the JPG Quality slider to adjust the compression settings Storyline 360 uses for JPG images. Click Reset to standard optimization to use the default settings: adaptive video quality, audio bitrate of 56 kbps, and JPG image quality of 100%. Step 4: Choose to Publish a Slide, a Scene, or the Entire Course By default, Storyline 360 will publish your entire course. However, you can now choose to publish a specific scene from your course or even just a single slide. This is helpful when you want to publish multiple courses from the same project file. Just click the Publish property, then choose the entire project, a single scene, or a single slide. Step 5: Choose Reporting and Tracking Options Click the Reporting and Tracking button to open the following window, where you can choose how your LMS/LRS reports and tracks learners’ progress. Click the LMS tab in the upper left corner, then choose a standard from the Report to an LMS drop-down. Ask your LMS administrator if you’re not sure which standard to use. Storyline 360 supports cmi5, xAPI (Tin Can API), SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2, and AICC. Complete the fields in the LMS Course Information section with these tips in mind: The course Identifier is a unique string of characters assigned by Storyline 360 that your LMS/LRS uses to identify your course. If you’re republishing a course that’s already in your LMS/LRS, don’t change the value in this field. If you choose xAPI and need to change this value, avoid special characters and spaces. For SCORM, the LMS Lesson SCORM Information section displays in addition to the LMS Course Information section. The values in the Title and Identifier fields default to the course title. If you have a title placeholder on the first slide, the Title and Identifier fields default to the text entered in that title placeholder instead. This Identifier appears in the imsmanifest.xml file for your course. The file uses a digestible name for the course Identifier, the unique string of characters assigned by Storyline 360. If you’re republishing a course that’s already in your LMS/LRS, don’t change the values in these fields. For xAPI, the following fields display: Activity ID: Your LMS and LRS use this value to identify activities in a course. The unique string of characters in the reference is the same as the value for the course’s Identifier (see above). If you need to change this value, use a valid URN (Uniform Resource Name), then upload the published course to your LMS/LRS for proper testing. Launch URL: If you plan to host the content on a server that’s separate from your LMS, you must enter the full URL for the story.html file. Language Code: This field isn’t mandatory, but you can enter a supported language code to change the language of the tincan.xml file. If you’re unsure, leave this field blank to set the language value in the tincan.xml file to und (undetermined). For SCORM and AICC content, choose your LMS Reporting option. This is the wording you want your LMS to display for learners’ statuses in reports. (This option isn’t available or necessary for cmi5 or xAPI content.) If you plan on reporting to an LRS as well, click the LRS tab on the left side of the window. Mark the box to Report to an external LRS, then choose one of the following options in the section called LRS Configuration. Learn more about LRS support. Supplied at launch: Select this option when you don’t want to store authentication credentials in your Storyline 360 project file or when you need the option to update the LRS endpoint or credentials without republishing the project. Learn more about supplying credentials at launch. Manual: Select this option to enter the LRS endpoint and credentials right in Storyline 360. The configuration details will be stored in your project file, and you’ll need to republish the project if you change them later. Learn more about the manual option. Click the Tracking tab on the left side of the window and chooseany combination of the following options.You can choose one, two, or even all three tracking options. Whichever option a learner completes first is the one that gets reported to your LMS/LRS.Learn more about tracking multiple completion criteria. When the learner has viewed# slides: Mark this option to trigger course completion when learners view acertain number of slides. You can choose a percentage or a fixed number. Then decide which slides get counted—all slides or just those with slide numbers.Learn more about tracking slides viewed. When the learner completes a quiz: Mark this option to track learners based on their quiz results. You can let Storyline 360 keep track of multiple quizzes and send results to your LMS/LRS for the first quiz each learner completes.Learn more about tracking quizzes. (This option will be grayed-out if your course doesn’t have any result slides.) Using triggers: Mark this option to track learners based oncourse completion triggers you added to your course. (This option is grayed-out if your course doesn’t have any completion triggers.) Click OK to save your changes. Step 6: Publish When you’re finished making selections, click the Publish button. When the publishing process is complete, you’ll see the Publish Successful window with several follow-up options. View Project This launches the published course in your default web browser. However, it’s best to upload the published course to your LMS/LRS for proper testing. Email This opens a new email message with a zipped file of your published course attached. This option is helpful if you need to send your course to an LMS/LRS administrator for deployment. FTP This opens a window where you can enter your FTP credentials and transfer your output to a server. Zip This creates a zipped version of your course files in the same location where your course was published. This is the most common choice when you publish for LMS/LRS. Upload the zipped course to your LMS/LRS. Open This opens a file viewer where you can see the files Storyline 360 just created. There will be multiple files and folders for a published course. Tip:If your LMS requires you to identify the file that launches your course, point to index_lms.html . Step 7: Distribute Your Published Course Now that you’ve published your course, it’s time to upload it to your LMS/LRS. The steps for this are different for each LMS/LRS. Contact your LMS/LRS administrator if you need help uploading, launching, or tracking content.1.3KViews1like0CommentsStoryline 360: Working with the Clipboard
The Storyline 360 clipboard lets you cut, copy, paste, and duplicate content. There's also a handy feature, called the format painter, that quickly copies attributes from one object to another. In this user guide, we’ll get acquainted with the clipboard tools. Cut Copy Paste Duplicate Format Painter Cut You can cut text, objects, slides, and even entire scenes out of a course. Select the objects you want to cut, then do any of the following: Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+X. Right-click the selected objects and choose Cut. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Cut. Copy Select the text, objects, slides, or scenes you want to copy, then do any of the following: Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C. Right-click the selected objects and choose Copy. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Copy. Paste To paste text, objects, slides, or scenes, do any of the following: Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V. Right-click where you want the items to appear and click Paste. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Paste. For more control over how the objects are pasted, click the drop-down arrow below the Paste button and choose Use Destination Theme, Keep Source Formatting, Keep Text Only, or Paste Special. Duplicate Select the objects, slides, or scenes you want to duplicate, then do any of the following: Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D. Right-click the selected slides and choose Duplicate. (A right-click option isn’t available for scenes or slide objects.) Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click the drop-down arrow beside Copy, and choose Duplicate. Format Painter In Slide View, the clipboard includes a special feature called the format painter. It lets you quickly copy formatting from one object to another, including text formatting, fill, outline, shadow, and other effects. Here's how: Select the object whose formatting you want to copy. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Format Painter. Your cursor will change into an arrow with a paintbrush to let you know that the format painter is active. Click another item where you want to use the same formatting. The formatting is duplicated on the new object, and the format painter automatically turns itself off. Tip: When you double-click the Format Painter button, it'll remain active until you turn it off. This lets you apply the same formatting to multiple objects. To turn the format painter off, just click it again or press the Esc key on your keyboard.50Views1like0CommentsStoryline 360: Replacing Fonts

While viewing a Review 360 item, use the sidebar to post feedback and participate in discussions along the way. Learn more about working with comments below. Read Comments Post Comments Edit Comments Delete Comments Resolve and Reopen Comments Export Comments to CSV and PDF Files Disable and Re-Enable Comments Read Comments All reviewers can view comments. And there are different ways to work with comments, depending on whether you’re using the review tab or the feedback tab. Review Tab Click to Enlarge Feedback Tab Click to Enlarge How to Use the Review Tab The review tab is the default view for Review 360 items. It’s where you interact with course content and watch videos. And the sidebar lists comments for the content that’s currently displayed on the screen. For Storyline and Studio courses, comments are tied to specific slides, so the comments you see in the sidebar change as you move from one slide to another. For Rise courses, comments are lesson-specific, so the comments in the sidebar change as you switch lessons. For video content, all comments display in the sidebar simultaneously, with the newest thread on top. To see a comment in context, click its hyperlinked timestamp to jump directly to that point in the video. Brilliant! Collapse and expand the comment sidebar by clicking the arrow in the upper right corner. Sometimes it’s helpful to collapse the sidebar to have more space to view the content, especially on small screens. Reviewers who sign in with an Articulate ID see helpful badges for unread comments. A blue dot appears next to individual unread comments in the sidebar, and a red badge with the total number of unread comments appears next to the feedback tab at the top of the screen. Mark comments as read by clicking them, replying to them, or using the More (•••) icon in the top right corner of the screen to Mark All as Read. How to Use the Feedback Tab The feedback tab lets you see all comments for a Review 360 item on one screen. Each thread has a screenshot to show you exactly how the content looked when the first comment was posted. These screenshots help you see feedback in context so you know what changes are needed. Click the screenshots to zoom in and out. Change how comments are sorted for Storyline, Studio, and Rise courses. Click the sorting icon in the upper right corner to toggle between slide/lesson order and chronological order. Tips: Video content always displays comments in chronological order, with the newest thread on top. Comments for deleted Storyline 360 slides display below a "Scene not found" section. Reviewers who sign in with an Articulate ID see helpful badges for unread comments. A blue dot appears next to individual unread comments, and a red badge with the total number of unread comments appears next to the feedback tab at the top of the screen. You can mark comments as read by clicking them, replying to them, or using the More (•••) icon in the top right corner of the screen to Mark All as Read. Post Comments All reviewers can add comments, emojis, @mentions, and attachments. The process is the same for both the review and feedback tabs. How to Post Comments It’s super-easy to comment on a Review 360 item. Place your cursor in a comment box or reply field, type your comment or paste text from your clipboard, then press Enter on your keyboard or click the Post button. If you change your mind, click Cancel. When you start a new discussion thread, a screenshot of the content as it currently appears is automatically generated and attached to your comment. If you’re watching a video, the screenshot is captured as soon as you start typing. You’ll see these screenshots on the feedback tab. Reviewers who subscribe to all comments will receive email notifications for new comments you post. And when you reply to an existing thread, you’ll see a list of reviewers who will be notified of your comment below the text-entry field. Tip: If you aren’t signed in to Review 360 with an Articulate ID, you’ll be prompted to enter your email address when you click inside a comment field. This allows you to receive notifications when other reviewers reply to your comments. (If you have an Articulate account, you’ll be prompted to enter your password.) How to Insert Emojis into Comments Give your comments more personality with emojis. If you’re using a device with an emoji keyboard, simply tap the emojis you want to add to your comments. Or, click the emoji icon in the comment field and select emojis from the list. How to Tag Other Reviewers in Comments Direct your comments to specific reviewers by tagging them. Here are two ways to tag people. Type @ followed by the person’s name or email address. A list of reviewers will appear as you type. Select the person you want to tag from the list. Click the @mention icon in the comment field and choose a reviewer from the list that appears. Who’s included in the @mention pick list? Great question! Everyone who has already commented on the current item appears on the list. And if you’re a member of an Articulate 360 Teams account, all your team members also appear in the list. How to Add Attachments to Comments Add attachments to comments to keep your team on the same page. Attach images, videos, audio tracks, and more! To add an attachment, click the paper clip icon in the comment field, then browse to the file you want to attach. To download an attachment, just click it and choose where you want to save it. To delete an attachment, hover over it and click the X that appears. (You can only delete attachments that you uploaded.) You can attach up to five files per comment. Learn more about attachments. Edit Comments All reviewers can edit their own comments. Here’s how. Hover over your comment, click the drop-down arrow that appears, and choose Edit. Change the text, emojis, @mentions, and attachments as needed. See above for details. Press the Enter key or click the Post button to save your changes. Tip: If you don’t see a drop-down arrow when you hover over your comments, you’ll need to sign in to Review 360 with your Articulate ID or click inside a comment/reply field and enter your email address when prompted. Delete Comments All reviewers can delete their own comments. Hover over the comment you want to delete, click the drop-down arrow that appears, and choose Delete. Here are some tips for deleting comments: While all reviewers can delete their own comments, the content owner can delete any comment by any reviewer. When you delete the first comment in a discussion thread, the entire thread gets deleted. You can't restore deleted comments. If you need to refer to a comment later, try resolving it rather than deleting it. If you don’t see a drop-down arrow when you hover over comments, you’ll need to sign in to Review 360 with your Articulate ID or click inside a comment/reply field and enter your email address when prompted. Resolve and Reopen Comments Avoid confusion by resolving comments that have been addressed or are no longer relevant. How to Resolve Comments All reviewers can resolve comments. It’s easy! Hover over an individual comment or the first comment in a discussion thread, then click the checkmark icon that appears. Depending on your settings, the comment or thread will disappear or fade into the background. Tip: If you don’t see a checkmark icon when you hover over comments, you'll need to sign in to Review 360 with your Articulate ID or click inside a comment/reply field and enter your email address when prompted. How to Show or Hide Resolved Comments By default, resolved comments disappear. To see resolved comments, click the More (•••) icon in the upper right corner of the screen and choose Show Resolved Comments. They’ll reappear with a faded or desaturated look so you can distinguish them from comments that are still open. To make resolved comments disappear again, click the More (•••) icon in the upper right corner and choose Hide Resolved Comments. The show/hide setting is specific to each Review 360 item, so you can show resolved comments in one item and hide them in another. Review 360 remembers your choice, so you don’t have to reset it every time you open an item. How to Reopen Comments Sometimes you need to reopen a comment or discussion that was previously resolved. No problem! First, show resolved comments as described above, then hover over the comment and click the green check mark icon that appears. Export Comments to CSV and PDF Files Export comments from a Review 360 item for analysis, backup, or regulatory requirements. Here’s how. First, make sure you’re signed in to Review 360 with an Articulate ID. Then, click the More (•••) icon in the upper right corner of the screen and choose Export Comments. Use the Comment Order drop-down list to choose how you want to organize comments in your report. Choose either CSV or PDF from the Export Format drop-down list. Click Export and choose where you want to save your report. All comments for all versions of the Review 360 item get exported to a single report. However, to include resolved comments in the PDF export, set the item to Show Resolved Comments first via the More (•••) icon in the upper right corner before exporting. Disable and Re-Enable Comments Only the content owner can turn off comments. Here’s what happens when comments are disabled: The sidebar disappears from the review tab, and the feedback tab disappears altogether. If the review item already had comments, you won’t be able to read them unless you export them to a report. If the content owner enables comments again, all pre-existing comments will reappear. (Re-enable comments by clicking the More (•••) icon in the upper right corner and choosing Enable Comments.)243Views1like0CommentsReach 360: Manage Your Account Settings
The Settings section of the Manage tab is where admins can modify account-wide settings like organizational information, company logo, notification emails, custom fields, and more. Let's go through each tab. Account Learner Notifications Registration Account The account tab is where you make changes to company info and account-wide settings. Upload Logo Click the Upload Logo button to choose an image from your computer to use as your account logo. Just like that, your logo is updated throughout Reach 360 and at the top of all emails. Pro Tip: Before you upload, make sure you remove as much whitespace as possible from around your logo before uploading the image. Your image should be about 35px high. If you’re using a transparent background, your image file should be saved as a PNG. Company Name and Time Zone Enter your company name and time zone. Due dates are based on the time zone you enter here. Tip: Completion certificates use the name you enter in the Company Name field. Brand Color Select the default accent color for your account with Brand Color. Either select one of the default colors or choose your own (or enter the RGB value) in the color selector that appears when you click Custom. You'll see the selected color across Reach 360 in your logo, buttons, even the favicon. URL If you're an owner, you'll see the option to use a Reach 360 subdomain or a custom domain of your choosing. This allows you to change your Reach 360 subdomain. This URL is where users access your site. If you change your subdomain, users accessing the previous subdomain are automatically redirected to your new subdomain for thirty days. After thirty days, the previous subdomain is released and can be reused by anyone. Tip: Subdomains can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens. Custom Certificates Customize training certificates and manage existing custom certificates by clicking Manage Certificates. These certificates can be assigned as the default certificate for all new training or assigned to specific training. API Keys Generate and manage already-generated API keys to use with the Reach 360 API. SSO If you're the account owner, you can enable SSO for your Reach 360 learners. Learner Notifications Customize Learner Welcome Email Enter text in the Learner Welcome Email Message (Subject) field to customize the subject line of the auto-generated email sent when you invite new learners to your account. In the Learner Welcome Email Message (Body) field, enter text to customize the body of the learner invitation email. Reach 360 adds the name of the admin that generated the invitation if you use the ${FROM_NAME} variable. The name and email of the admin that generated the invitation are automatically included below the customized welcome email. Both welcome email fields support plain, non-formatted text only and won't accept email addresses or URLs. Neither field has a character limit. Note: Only new users invited from Reach 360 receive customized emails. You can't customize the sender address or remove the footer. Email Reminders Learners receive notification emails when they're enrolled in or complete training. They also receive reminders when a due date is pending or training is overdue, when applicable. Email reminders can't be disabled, but they can be customized. Use the Email Reminders section to preview the notifications sent to learners or modify the time period and frequency of reminders. Previews are sent to your registered email address. Note: Any modifications apply to emails only. Changes made here do not affect the timing of Slack or Teams notifications. Registration Self-Registration Enable or disable the option for users to register themselves as learners on your account and customize your self-registration page. Learn more about how this works. This option must be selected to enable group self-registration and direct content sharing. Custom Learner Profile Fields Use custom learner profile fields to collect additional information from learners when they register for your site. This is the page registrants see after verifying the email they provided when clicking an email invite or self-registering. Click Manage Fields to see the custom fields that are currently defined or to add new fields. To add a new field, click Create New and select Text or Drop-down. For text fields, enter a label and an optional description. For drop-down fields, add options for learners to choose from (options display in the order in which they're entered). Click Create when you're finished. Preview how the field looks by clicking the registration page link in the section description (the preview page isn't clickable). Pro Tip: Want to add a learner profile value for existing users? Once you've created the field, you can manually add the value to individual user records. Learner profile fields are visible on individual learner records. Add or edit responses on the Manage > People tab by expanding individual records and clicking the edit icon in the Learner Profile section. You must enter values for all required fields to save your changes. To modify or delete a field, hover over it, click the icon that appears, and select Edit or Delete. When you delete a custom field, all user data associated with that field is also deleted. Adding a custom learner profile field with the same name as one that's been previously deleted doesn't restore previously entered data. Delete individual drop-down options by hovering over the option and clicking the X that displays. Note: Custom field labels and drop-down options must be 50 characters or fewer. Descriptions can have up to 120 characters. Learner entries are restricted to 200 characters or fewer. You can't have more than 200 options for a drop-down field.183Views1like0CommentsTutorials: How to Maintain Consistent Character Sizes in Storyline 360

Storyline 360 has powerful features for creating highly interactive content. However, you can also take advantage of existing Engage interactions by importing them into Storyline 360. Preparing to Import Interactions Importing Interactions Editing Interactions Using Right-Click Options for Interactions Deleting Interactions Preparing to Import Interactions Before importing Engage interactions into Storyline 360, consider these prerequisites and implications: To import interactions into Storyline 360, you must have Engage ‘09, Engage '13, or Engage 360 installed and activated with a valid serial number or subscription. (Engage doesn't need to be activated if you're in the free trial period.) When you import an interaction into Storyline 360, a copy of the original interaction (*.intr) file is stored in your project file. As a result, you can transfer your project to another computer or another developer and still edit the interaction (as long as Engage is installed and activated). Engage interactions are imported into Storyline 360 as web objects, meaning they'll play as standalone interactions that are simply embedded in your course. We recommend disabling the resume prompt in your interactions. Otherwise, learners will see a resume prompt when they revisit interaction slides in your course. To disable the resume prompt in Engage, visit these user guides: Engage ‘09, Engage ‘13, Engage 360. Importing Interactions First, do any of the following: Click Import on the Storyline 360 start screen and select Import Engage. Go to the File tab on the ribbon, scroll to Import, and click Engage. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, scroll to Import, and choose Engage. Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, and choose Engage. Browse to the Engage interaction you want to import and click Open. If you opened the wrong interaction or want to select a different one, click the ellipsis button (...) in the upper right corner to browse for another file. Use the Insert into scene drop-down list at the bottom of the window to choose where the interaction should appear in your course. You can insert it into a new scene, which is the default option, or the current scene. If you choose a new scene, use the Scene field to give it a name. Click Import to complete the process. Editing Interactions To edit an Engage interaction in Storyline 360, select its placeholder, then use the Options tab on the ribbon to adjust any of the following properties. Preview View the selected interaction on the Storyline slide. Click it again to stop the preview. Open Open the interaction in your default web browser. Edit in Engage Open the interaction in Engage for editing. When you're finished editing your interaction in Engage, click Save and Return to Storyline. This option is only available in 32-bit Storyline 360. In 64-bit Storyline 360, update Engage interactions by exporting the interaction file for editing, then replace the file with the updated one. (See below.) Export Interaction Export the interaction file for editing in Engage. This option is only available in 64-bit Storyline 360. Replace Interaction Replace the current interaction file with a different one. This option is only available in 64-bit Storyline 360. Load When do you want the interaction to play in your published course? Choose Automatically or When clicked. This option won't be available if you display the interaction in a separate browser window (see below). An interaction that opens in a separate window won't load until learners click it. Show Determine whether you want to display your interaction in the slide or in a new browser window. Controls If you display the interaction in a new browser window (see above), this drop-down becomes active, letting you choose which browser controls the new window has. This option is grayed out if the interaction is configured to play in the current slide. Size If you choose to show your interaction in a new browser window (see above), this drop-down becomes active, letting you specify a size for the new window. This option is grayed out if the interaction is configured to play in the current slide. Using Right-Click Options for Interactions Right-click an Engage interaction placeholder and you'll find several more options for working with the interaction: Web Object > Edit This opens the Edit Web Object window, which lets you adjust some of the properties described in the previous section, such as where the interaction displays and when it plays. Tip: Don't change the file path in the Address field. Web Object > Open This plays the interaction in your default web browser. Preview This plays the interaction on the slide. Click anywhere outside the interaction placeholder to end the preview Tip: You can also double-click the interaction placeholder to preview it. Reset Picture Your interaction placeholder will automatically use the first frame of the interaction as its placeholder image. If you want to remove the placeholder image, select Reset Picture. After resetting (removing) the placeholder image, you can choose another placeholder image by right-clicking the interaction again and selecting Change Picture. This is especially useful if you've configured the interaction to play only when learners click it. The image you select will be visible until they click it. Rename This lets you change the default name of the interaction placeholder (Engage Interaction 1, Engage Interaction 2, etc.) in Storyline 360. Another way to rename objects is to use the timeline. Tip: Changing the name of the interaction placeholder doesn't affect the title of the interaction in the published course. Size and Position Use this option to specify an exact size and position for the interaction placeholder. Learn more. Deleting Interactions To delete an Engage interaction from your story, just select the interaction placeholder and press the Delete key on your keyboard.64Views1like0Comments
