Review 360: Invite Stakeholders to Review Content
After publishing or uploading an item to Review 360, you can use either a share link or review request to invite stakeholders to review the item and post their feedback. Learn about each process below. Use a Share Link Create a Review Request Use a Share Link To share your content and collect feedback, send stakeholders a direct link to your Review 360 item. From your dashboard, hover over an item, and click the More (...) icon that appears. Then, choose Share settings. Or select the checkbox in the upper-left corner of the card, and choose the chain link icon from the action toolbar on top. You can also open a Review 360 item from the dashboard and click Share in the upper right corner of the screen. Next, choose who can view your item using the Item Access dropdown. You can select Anyone with the link or Only invited users. The dialog box shows different options depending on your choice: Anyone with the link Only invited users Anyone with the link Select Anyone with the link from the dropdown to share your content more broadly. Then decide if you need these optional settings: If your reviewers don’t have Articulate accounts, select Allow users without Articulate IDs to comment. Stakeholders must enter their email addresses so you can identify their comments, and they can receive discussion notifications. We recommend encouraging stakeholders to sign in with an Articulate ID for the best experience. For example, reviewers who sign in can see badges for unread comments and change their email notification settings. Ask them to create a free account here. To password-protect your content for additional security, select the Set a password checkbox and enter a password in the field that appears. Turn off the password at any time simply by unchecking it. (Only the content owner and team folder editors can add and remove passwords.) Notes: 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. When you share Storyline project files with collaborators, they can access any integrated comments linked to the slides unless you password-protect the Review 360 item. Only invited users Choose Only invited users from the dropdown if you want more control over who can view the link. Invited users must have an Articulate ID to access the item you’re sharing. (If the stakeholder you want to invite doesn’t have an Articulate ID, ask them to create a free account here.) Then follow these steps to manage access: To add users, type in the person's email address in the People with Access field, then press Enter or select it from the drop-down list. Or copy a list of email addresses (use any form of separator—commas, semi-colons, spaces, cells in spreadsheets) and paste it to the People with Access field to add them automatically. You can add anyone from your team or outside the organization, as long as they have an Articulate ID. Remove users by clicking the X icon beside their name. Click Save to confirm any changes. Tips when making your item private: If your item is in a team folder, you'll see folder editors listed under "People with Access" with a folder icon beside their names. You can remove them via the folder share settings. Although you can add reviewers without Articulate IDs via request review, only those with accounts are included automatically. You'll see them under "People with Access" with a clipboard icon beside their names. Those without Articulate IDs must create a free account using the same reviewer email address to gain Viewer access. If you want collaborators to see integrated comments linked to slides in your Storyline project files, you must grant them access to the Review 360 item you want to share. Check out this FAQ for more information. Copy the shareable link from the dialog box and send it to your reviewers. Be sure to give them the password if you added one. And if your reviewers have never used Review 360 before, feel free to share this user guide or this downloadable PDF on reviewing content in Review 360. Create a Review Request To set a due date and keep track of your stakeholders' progress, create a review request by following the steps below. Launch the Review 360 item and click the Request Review button on the top right. Add reviewers by clicking the Assigned Reviewers fields and choosing any of the following methods: Select them from the drop-down list that appears by clicking the checkbox beside their names. The initial list shows the last five reviewers added, followed by the names or email addresses of recent reviewers you added and the members of your subscription. Type in the reviewer's email address and select it from the drop-down list. Copy a list of reviewer email addresses formatted with any kind of separator—commas, semi-colons, spaces, or cells in spreadsheets—and paste it into the Assigned Reviewers field to add them automatically. Enter a custom message for your reviewers if you like. For example, if your content is password-protected, include the password in your message. Make messages easier to read using the formatting options on the toolbar on top. Or, use the keyboard shortcuts below. Icon Function Key(s) Window / macOS Bold Ctrl+B / Cmd+B Italic Ctrl+I / Cmd+I Strikethrough Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X Hyperlink Ctrl+C / Cmd+C to copy the URL Ctrl+V / Cmd+V to hyperlink the selected text Ordered list Ctrl+Shift+8 / Cmd+Shift+8 Bullet list Ctrl+Shift+7 / Cmd+Shift+7 Clear formatting N/A Add a line break Shift+Enter or Control+Enter / Cmd+Enter Set a due date for sending email reminders to reviewers if they haven't completed their review. Reminders are sent the day before, on the due date, and the day after. Confirm all the details are correct, then click Send Request. The text on the request review button reflects the status of the request, which could be either of the following: Button Text Description Request Review You haven’t assigned any reviewers. In Review You have assigned reviewers who haven’t completed the review. Review Assigned to You Assigned reviewers see this text when they use their personalized URL or are signed in with their Articulate ID. More details in below. Review Complete All assigned reviewers have completed their review. Reviewer's Experience Reviewers receive an email notification with a personalized URL to access their Review 360 item. Using this URL, they'll see the request review button set to Review Assigned to You on the top right. Clicking this button allows them to: View the request details, including the person who made the request, the due date, and a list of assigned reviewers. Click the Finish Review button to set their status to "Review Complete" and notify the person who made the request. Reset their status if they've completed their review and want to make additional change by using the Re-Open Review link at the bottom right. Note: If your Review 360 item share link is private, reviewers must have an Articulate ID to view it. Ask them to create a free account here if they don't have one. Update Your Request Modify your request after sending it. Change the Due Date Click the In Review button, select a new date from the due-date dropdown, and click Save. All reviewers will receive email notifications of the new due date. Their status doesn't change. Add Reviewers Invite more reviewers to look through your content: Click the In Review button, then select the Add Reviewers icon next to the "Request Review" header. Choose reviewers from the dropdown menu, type in their email if you don't see them listed. Click Update Reviewers when finished. Remove Reviewers To remove a reviewer, click the In Review button, hover your mouse over their name, click the X that appears, and select Remove. Delete To cancel your request, click the In Review button and then the trash bin icon beside the “Request Review” header. Select Yes to confirm. Note that you can't undo this action. Re-request Review Restart the review process when you have updated content for review: Click In Review and then the Re-request review button at the bottom. Verify the new request review form that’s pre-filled with previous reviewers. Add more reviewers and a custom message if you like. Click Send Request to notify all reviewers via email and update their review status to "Emailed". Monitor Status Track your stakeholders' progress. Refer to the table below for more details on each status: Status Description E-mailed The reviewer hasn't viewed the Review 360 item. Item Viewed The reviewer launched the Review 360 item or reopened their review. In Progress The reviewer posted their first comment. Completed The reviewer marked the review request as complete. Tips: If your reviewers are new to Review 360, point them to this user guide for stakeholders or share this quick-start guide document (PDF) in your custom message. All seatholders can create or edit a request for any Review 360 item they have access to within the subscription. Only the request owner will be notified when reviewers set their status to complete. If a reviewer has an Articulate ID account linked to their email address, they must sign in with their password before posting a comment. Anyone viewing the Review 360 item using the public link can see the Request Review details. Assigned reviewers with Articulate IDs will see the Your Review section using this link when signed in. Select Allow users without Articulate IDs to comment if you want assigned reviewers without Articulate IDs to post comments.Articulate Localization: Create Multi-Language Rise 360 Courses
With Articulate Localization, you can translate course and microlearning content into 70+ languages and manage all the language versions as a single project, right from the Rise 360 dashboard. Watch the video to learn how to translate and share the translations with validators. Then read on for more details on managing multi-language courses. Translate a Course Early-Access Course Stacks Translate Text Updates Manage Languages Tips Add Collaborators Localize Video and Audio Assets Understand Question Banks Include Right-to-Left Languages Translate Storyline Blocks for Use in Rise 360 Courses Translate a Course Before translating your course, run through this checklist to avoid common issues. Prepare your course for AI translation with the following best practices: Avoid using all caps to emphasize certain words. AI translation often interprets this as an acronym and won’t translate it. Avoid splitting a sentence into multiple text boxes, as this removes necessary context for effective translation. Avoid using emojis. Their meanings can vary across cultures, and machine translation tools may not interpret them accurately. Use proper grammar. Simplify formatting. Complex formatting can create challenges for all forms of AI translation. Here are some best practices: Don’t format spaces. Let Rise 360 handle text wrapping. Using shift+enter to manually insert line breaks will impact other languages, where it won’t always be appropriate. Scan through your content one more time for terms that might need to be added to the AI translation glossary. The glossary specifies how terms are translated—or not translated. For example, you might have a specific term for “service” in a particular language. Or you may want to make sure your brand name does not get translated. Once you’ve double-checked your course, follow these steps to get started with Localization: In your dashboard, hover over the content tile for the course you want to localize, click the more (...) icon, and select Translate. A translation dialog will appear. You can confirm the source language, select one or more target languages, and adjust the formality if the languages support that option. Click Translate. Rise 360 will create a multi-language course with all the language versions presented as a single course “stack”. The course stack tile on the dashboard indicates how many languages are in the stack, as shown below. Multi-language courses share the same theme and structure. If you add, move, or delete a block, lesson, or section in one language, those changes will apply to all other languages in the course. Other factors to note: Clicking the tile opens an overview page that lists all the current languages in a sidebar and allows you to preview each language. Click EDIT COURSE to make changes to any language version. The language dropdown on the top left lets you switch between languages while authoring, as shown below. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when choosing a language from the dropdown: Stay in the source language if you want to make changes in all languages, such as updating course content, adding new blocks, lessons, or sections, and changing themes. Switch to a target language if you want to make language-specific changes, such as replacing media assets, editing existing text, and changing course labels. Custom label sets are not translated, but translated courses will automatically have default label sets for each target language. If you prefer to use custom label sets, you can assign them to individual language versions after translation. Audio and video assets will be the same across all languages after translation. Any changes you make to the media—such as alt text or image alignment—in the source language will be applied to all target languages. You can have language-specific media by modifying the media asset in the target language. Remember that editing a target language disconnects the asset from the source language, so any changes done to the source won’t be applied moving forward. Early-Access Course Stacks Multi-language courses created during our early-access program will have an [Early Access] tag on the course tile and course stack. This older version has the following differences: When you add languages to a Rise course, each translated language becomes a separate copy of the original course, so changes you make to one language version will not affect other languages. To edit an individual language, switch to it in the sidebar and click the Edit button in the top navigation bar. Any changes you make affect only the language you are currently editing. There’s no option to translate updates to the source language and publish a single-package, multi-language output. Learn more about the early-access version of multi-language Rise 360 courses. Refer to this user guide when working on this version. Translate Text Updates Rise 360 detects text changes made to your source language after the last translation run. It allows you to translate these changes without affecting other portions of the course. If the unchanged portions have imported validation suggestions, these will be preserved. Here's how it works. Update existing text or add blocks to your source language. A blue notification dot appears on the language dropdown on the top left. Click the language dropdown and select Back to Stack. From the course stack, click Update Translation to translate only the text updates you made for all existing target languages. When the translation run completes, the Update Translation option disappears. Additional information: Text updates are determined by translation units called text segments. A text segment breaks down the source text into smaller parts while retaining its meaning in context. Segments can vary in length and structure—from single words to complex sentences or even short paragraphs, depending on context. In Rise 360, a segment is typically the text in a block. Any text change in a segment will retranslate the whole segment. You can see how your course is broken down into segments when you publish to Review 360 and view the translation table. If your project has already been validated, follow the tips in this article to request validation for only the updated content. Importing validation suggestions or updating text in the target languages will not enable the Update Translation option. Adding blocks, lessons, or sections to any target language will also apply to other languages, but they won't get translated. If you accidentally added them to the target language, simply delete them and recreate them in the source language. Translating updates within the same Articulate 360 subscription contract term does not affect your total purchased translation. Manage Languages You can add or remove languages from a multi-language project at any time. You can also save a copy of a language as a separate course. Add or Replace a Language To add or replace (retranslate) a language, re-run the translation tool by selecting Translate from the stack tile option in the dashboard or clicking Translate at the bottom left of the stack overview. If the language exists in the course stack or the Archived Translations folder, click Translate again to overwrite existing versions. Note: Retranslating or using AI translation for existing languages in a multi-language course within the same Articulate 360 subscription contract term does not affect your total purchased translation count. However, if you duplicate the multi-language course or send a copy to someone else, any new translations on the copy—including translating text updates—will be counted. Remove a Language To remove a language, click the ellipses (...) beside the language from the stack overview, and choose Archive. The language moves to the Archived Translation folder at the bottom left. You can restore or permanently delete the language from the Archived Translation folder. Retranslating archived languages will also permanently delete the versions in the Archived Translations folder. Save a Copy of a Language To save a language as a separate course or microlearning, click the ellipses (...) beside the language from the stack overview, and choose Save as. Give the copy a name and click Save. The copy is saved in the same folder as the multi-language project and includes the default label set for the corresponding language. The label set is also added to the list of built-in label sets under Course Settings. Tips Add Collaborators You can add collaborators to your multi-language course in three ways: Click Share > View collaborators from the course stack or while editing the course to add them via course settings. From your Rise dashboard, hover over the content tile for the course, click the More (...) icon, and select Share to add them via share settings. If the course already has collaborators, a Share Settings option displays instead. Hover over the content tile for the course from your Rise dashboard, click the More (...) icon, and select Move to move the course to a team folder. Everyone who has collaborator access to the team folder you choose will have the same access to the course. You can add anyone with an Articulate 360 Teams subscription, but they must be on a subscription with Articulate Localization to access course stacks. Note that course managers and editors can view and edit multi-language courses. However, only course managers can manage languages. Course managers can also initiate course translations or add new languages if they have translation access within the same subscription. Collaborators without access to Articulate Localization can’t access the course stacks, but course managers can save separate copies of each language to their account when they try to launch the course stack. Localizing Video and Audio Assets Localize video assets automatically by adding closed captions before translation. Captions translate along with other course text when you add new languages. For audio blocks: Use text blocks or accordion interactions to display transcripts, which will also translate automatically. For existing translated assets: Upload them directly to the target language without affecting other languages. Learn how to add closed captions and create language-specific media. Understand Question Banks Questions drawn from question banks are translated together with the course. When publishing to Review 360 for validation, we recommend including all the questions from the question bank so validators can review them. Learn more about using question banks in knowledge checks and quizzes. Include Right-to-Left Languages Rise 360 supports multi-language courses with both left-to-right and right-to-left language versions. In edit mode, right-to-left language versions are in a left-to-right layout, but they will automatically adjust to right-to-left layouts when the course is previewed, reviewed, or published. Translate Storyline Blocks for Use in Rise 360 Courses Storyline blocks must be translated and validated through Storyline 360 before the translated versions can be embedded in Rise 360 content. Here’s one approach we suggest: Finalize your Rise 360 course and Storyline blocks in your source language. Translate, validate, and import suggestions for the Rise 360 course in Rise 360. Translate, validate, and import suggestions for the Storyline blocks in Storyline 360. After completing the Localization workflow in Storyline 360, publish the final version of the multi-language Storyline course to Review 360. Embed each Storyline language version to the corresponding language in the Rise 360 course. Follow these steps: Launch the Rise 360 course and click Edit Course. Click the language dropdown on the top left and select one of the target languages. Navigate to the Storyline block and click the pencil icon to edit. When the sidebar opens, click Change and select the Storyline course for this language. Each language version will have the title suffixed with the language code, such as “Onboarding Course - FR” or “Onboarding Course - DE.” To publish slides or scenes as separate Review 360 items, save each language as a separate file—including the source language—to turn them into single-language project files. The Review 360 items can then be inserted as separate Storyline blocks. However, localization features like course updates, language validation, and multi-language workflow management won't be available for these copies.Rise 360: Choose Lesson and Block Types
To build your content, select block types and, for courses, add quizzes. Blocks Blank Lessons Quizzes Lesson Templates Blocks With Rise 360 content, you stack blocks to create unique learning experiences. Use blocks to create custom deliverables.

Rise 360 blocks are essentially templates, so adding content is as easy as plugging it into placeholders. For every lesson, you can edit the lesson title and show or hide the author. Then you can fill out blocks with text, tables, math equations, and more—or use AI to help generate content. Here are tips for working with text-based content. Text Tables Math Equations Quick Insert Text Type your text in the web interface or copy text from external sources and paste it into Rise 360. You can also generate text using the Write with AI quick insert command. In most lessons, you can add and edit text in the body of the main window. In some cases, you use the sidebar—for example, adding marker text in the sidebar for labeled graphic blocks. Format text by selecting it and choosing formatting options on the floating toolbar that appears. Or, use the keyboard shortcuts below. Key(s) Function Ctrl+A Select all Ctrl+B Bold Ctrl+I Italicize Ctrl+K Hyperlink Ctrl+S Strikethrough Ctrl+U Underline Ctrl+Z Undo Ctrl+Shift+Z Redo Ctrl+[ Decrease indent Ctrl+] Increase indent When you paste text, Rise 360 retains the source formatting. To paste your text without formatting, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V. You can also restore the default Rise 360 formatting to pasted text by selecting it and clicking the Reset icon. Pro Tip: The default text size for non-heading content is 17pt. Tables Tables make organizing and presenting complex data easy. To get started, add a table using a table block or quick insert when it’s available. You can also select text and have AI Assistant convert it into a table automatically via the command on the formatting toolbar. Math Equations Enter math equations using Rise 360's built-in LaTex editor via the text formatting toolbar or quick insert. Quick Insert Available in the sidebar and main window of most blocks that support text, quick insert lets you add tables, lists, and math equations to blocks with a single click. On a blank line, click Quick Insert (+). Select Insert Table, Unordered List, Ordered List, or Math Equations from the row of icons.Articulate Localization: Publish Multi-Language Rise 360 Courses
Articulate Localization makes publishing multi-language Rise 360 courses easy. Publish all language versions as a single package for your LMS or web server, and let learners choose which language to view when they launch the course. Or publish each language separately as its own package for LMS export if that’s what your LMS supports. For the best experience, publish your multi-language training to Reach 360 so your learners automatically see content in their preferred language. To start, click Publish on the top right of the course stack or while authoring a multi-language course. Choose from the following output types: Reach 360, LMS, Web, and PDF. Find more details for each type below. Reach 360 You can use the Language dropdown in the publishing options page to choose whether to publish all or a subset of your course languages. Then, select the same settings as you would when publishing Rise 360 content to Reach 360. Click Publish at the bottom to send all language versions directly to your Reach account packaged as a single training, as shown below. Learn more about how multi-language training works in Reach 360. LMS Publishing to LMS gives you the same LMS settings as when publishing Rise 360 content to the LMS. You also get the option to choose which languages to include and whether you’ll have a single package or separate LMS packages for each selected language. Click the Language dropdown to deselect any language you want to exclude. All languages are selected by default. Choose between publishing a single LMS package with all the languages you selected or publishing separate packages for each language. Each option is explained below. The Publish selected languages as a single LMS package option lets you upload one zip file to your LMS. Learners can choose their preferred language when they launch the course, as shown below. The Publish separate LMS packages for each selected language option lets you download one zip file containing several other zip files, one for each language. You’ll need to unzip the main zip file, then upload each language zip file to your LMS. Click Publish at the top right to proceed with your chosen option. Rise 360 reports the language the learner chooses to the LMS when the course is published for AICC, SCORM 1.2, and SCORM 2004. For both single and separate package output, the learner’s language code is reported in the following fields: AICC: cmi.learner_preference.language SCORM 1.2: cmi.student_preference.language SCORM 2004: cmi.learner_preference.language If you need this information, check with your LMS admin to see if your LMS supports these fields. Cmi.student_preference.language, for example, is not a mandatory element in SCORM 1.2, so some LMSs might not support it. We're working on enabling this capability for xAPI and CMI5, and we’ll update this guide when it’s available. Note: Does your multi-language course have an [Early Access] tag? That means it was created in the early-access version of Articulate Localization and can’t be published as a single package with all the selected languages. Refer to this user guide for help using the early-access version. This article explains more about the new features available in the updated Rise 360 version of Articulate Localization, including how to convert your courses to the newer version. Web-Only The web-only output gives you a single course with all the available languages. Learners can choose their preferred language when they launch the course. Simply unzip the zip file provided and upload the contents to your web server. When the files are uploaded, give learners a link to the index.html file. PDF The PDF output gives you one zip file containing one PDF file for each language available in the multi-language course.Rise 360: Personalize the Theme
You can easily customize your content in Rise 360 by changing the photo, choosing a theme color, changing fonts, changing your cover page, adding a logo, and more. Just click the Theme icon in the upper right corner of the editor to access the following options. Change the Cover Photo Change the Theme Modify the Cover Page and Add a Logo Modify Course Navigation and Button Style Change the Lesson Header Hide Author Avatars Set the Theme Color and Adjust Contrast Change Fonts Modify Blocks Note: Theme settings apply to the current content only. However, when working with content in an AI Localization stack, theme settings applied to any version are applied to all versions. Change the Cover Image A cover image is added by default when you create your content. The image is used in various theme layouts. You can upload your own image or search for the perfect one from the extensive assets in Content Library 360. If you prefer not to use a cover image in your content, that’s fine too. Select a cover page layout that doesn't include an image and your selected theme color displays instead. In the Theme menu, select Cover Page in the sidebar. Next to the photo, click Edit. From here you can upload an image or browse the Content Library for the perfect image. You can also edit the image in the cover page settings. From the edit menu, you can crop the current image or adjust the overlay for your cover image. If it’s hard to see your title with an image background, try adjusting the Overlay. Select a light or dark transparent overlay, then adjust its opacity as needed by percentage. Overlay adjustments affect text contrast for the image on both the cover page and sidebar navigation. For instance, if you select a dark overlay, the text color will be light and vice versa. Pro tip: Check your navigation settings to make sure your selected overlay provides the expected contrast on the sidebar image. Change the Theme New content has the Rise theme applied by default. For additional themes, click the Change Theme button. Changing the theme reverts any style changes you've made, such as font or theme color. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Note: If you've changed your cover photo, you'll see that image previewed instead of a default image for each theme. Modify the Cover Page and Add a Logo Select Cover Page from the themes menu in the sidebar. Select an available cover page layout to see it with your current content in the main window. Click Save in the upper left to commit your cover page changes or Cancel to discard them. For courses, you can add a logo. Click the Add Logo button at the bottom of the sidebar to upload your image file. Once uploaded, you can change or delete the image by clicking Edit. Reduce whitespace in your uploaded image by selecting Crop logo. In the crop image pop-up, manually crop your image or click Constrain to square to automatically apply a square crop which you can manually resize. Click Save to commit your changes. If you change your mind, open the crop image pop-up again and manually remove the crop. You can also increase the size of the logo on the cover page by selecting an option from the Logo size drop-down list. Small—default logo size Medium—1.5x larger than the default size Large—2x larger than the default size Note: SVG and GIF files can't be cropped. Logo changes are automatically saved. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Modify Course Navigation and Button Style You have multiple options when it comes to navigation. For courses there's the sidebar menu, compact navigation, and overlay navigation. For microlearning, select between continuous scroll or incremental steps. By default, Rise 360 courses use the sidebar menu. The compact menu is a small menu that appears as a minimized card in the bottom-left corner of your course. Overlay navigation is a large, persistent card that appears at the top of the course. For microlearning, blank content defaults to continuous scroll while stepped navigation is the default for content templates. For stepped mode, you can select an indicator type or disable the indicator bar entirely. Select Navigation from the themes menu in the sidebar, then select one of the available navigation layouts to see it with your current content in the main window. For courses, click the Buttons tab for options to change the appearance of previous and next buttons. Select from full width: Or floating: You can also choose from white or dark color schemes or versions that use your selected theme color. Theme color options have a 4.5:1 color contrast ratio. Under Progress Indicator Style, you can select from the theme default, a circular fill, or complete/incomplete checkmarks. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Click here for information on additional navigation controls.

Once you've selected a header style, change the header height by selecting an option from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the sidebar. Lesson count labels can be toggled on or off with the appropriate option. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Hide Author Avatars There are three ways to hide the author avatar that appears on the cover page and in each lesson header. Globally: On the cover page, click the author avatar and select Hide Author. This hides the author avatar on the cover page and all lessons. For all lessons: Navigate to Themes > Lesson Headers and slide the Author Avatar option to Off. This hides author avatars for all lessons but keeps the author avatar on the cover page. Per lesson: In each individual lesson, select Hide Author from the author avatar drop-down menu. Set the Theme Color and Adjust Contrast Customize your content with a theme color and adjust text and graphic contrast in the Colors menu. Theme Color The theme color appears throughout your content to tie it all together. Choose from one of the suggested colors or create your own custom color: In the Colors menu, click Custom. Add a color by entering the hex code or manually selecting one from the color palette. Button text automatically changes from light to dark as needed to preserve a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for accessibility. Click Done to close the color selector. Contrast Ensure that text and graphic elements that appear over your theme color adhere to an accessibility-conformant 4.5:1 ratio by selecting Auto from the drop-down list. With this selected, the text and graphic elements that appear over your selected theme color change from light to dark as needed to preserve contrast. Note: When you select Light or Dark, training elements won't automatically adjust and may not maintain contrast that's conformant with accessibility guidelines. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Change Fonts In the Fonts menu, you can select and preview several recommended fonts based on your current theme.

Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Modify Blocks By default, non-text blocks animate smoothly into view as learners scroll through block lessons, but you can turn the animations off if you prefer. Select the Blocks menu, then toggle the Block Entrance Animations switch to Off. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu.Storyline 360: Managing a Project’s Assets with the Media Library
Manage all the assets for your project in one place with the media library. It keeps track of images, characters, audio clips, and videos in your course, so you can easily add, remove, replace, reuse, and export them. See every slide and layer where an asset is used and jump to each location instantly. You can even edit assets with third-party apps and save your changes directly to Storyline 360. Watch this video demo, then check out the details below. Opening the Media Library Importing Assets into the Media Library Searching, Sorting, and Filtering Assets Renaming Assets Previewing Assets Managing Alternative Text Managing Closed Captions Adding Internal Notes to Assets Jumping to Asset Locations in Your Project Using Assets on Slides and Layers Replacing All Instances of an Asset Replacing a Single Instance of an Asset Editing Assets in Third-Party Apps Reimporting Updated Assets Opening an Asset’s Original Folder Location Exporting Assets Deleting Assets Opening the Media Library The media library is always close at hand. Here are three ways to open it: Go to the View tab on the ribbon and click Media Library. Right-click an asset on any slide in your project and choose Show in Media Library. Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click the drop-down arrow below Picture, Video, or Audio, and then choose Media Library. (Using this method, the media library will automatically close after you insert an asset into the slide.) Across the top of the media library, you’ll see asset tabs, a search field, and filtering options. There’s an asset list on the left side of the window that includes metadata for each asset. The details pane on the right lets you preview assets, jump to each location where assets are used in your project, and manage assets (insert, replace, edit, export, and delete). You can keep the media library open as you work in Storyline 360 or move it to a separate monitor so it’s always available while you’re building your course. Importing Assets into the Media Library There are several options for adding assets to the media library. Explore them below. Drag Assets From Your Computer Directly Onto a Slide or Into the Media Library When you drag media from your computer directly onto a slide or into the media library, those assets automatically appear in the media library. Note that icons don’t show in the media library. Use the Ribbon to Insert Assets and Slides When you use the Insert tab to add images, characters, audio clips, and videos to slides in your project, those assets automatically appear in the media library. When you use the Slides tab to import slides from other sources, such as Content Library 360 and PowerPoint, assets on those slides automatically appear in the media library too. Note that screen recordings don't show in the media library. You can find your screen recordings by going to the Slides tab on the ribbon and clicking the Record Screen drop-down arrow. Use the Import Buttons in the Media Library You can import assets directly into the media library, so they’re available later when you need them. Click the Import button in the upper right corner of the media library to add new assets. If the media library is empty, you can also click the Add button on each asset tab to import assets. Import images from your computer or Content Library 360, or generate images with AI Assistant. Import photographic and illustrated characters from Content Library 360. Import audio files from your computer, record narration with a microphone, or generate audio with AI Assistant. Import videos from your computer or Content Library 360, or record videos with a webcam. Tip: You can select multiple media files at the same time using Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click, then insert them all at once. Searching, Sorting, and Filtering Assets Let’s examine how assets are organized in the media library and how to find what you need. Switch Asset Tabs Use the asset tabs across the top of the media library to manage images, characters, audio clips, and videos. The media library remembers which asset tab you had open when you last saved a project and displays that same tab the next time you open the media library. Search Use the search field at the top of the window to find a specific asset by name. The search field is contextual, so it searches only the assets for the tab that’s currently selected (images, characters, audio, or video). The search results are dynamic and update as you type. Pro Tip: Give your assets recognizable names and keywords to make searches quick and easy. Filter By default, the media library displays all the assets for your entire project. You can narrow your focus to a specific scene, slide, or question bank by using the drop-down list in the upper right corner to filter your assets. Sort You can sort the asset grid by any column, such as asset names or modified dates. Click a column header to sort by that column. Click it again to reverse the sort order. Renaming Assets Rename images, characters (and poses), audio clips, and videos in the media library so they're organized and easily searchable. In the media library, double-click an asset name to make it editable. Type a new name, then press Enter or Tab. When you rename an asset in the media library, the new name displays in the timeline panel everywhere that asset appears in your project. Previewing Assets Select an asset in the list on the left side of the media library, then use the details pane on the right to preview it. When you’re working with an image or a character, hover over the preview image to zoom and pan around it. You can also click the preview image to see a larger version of it. It’ll fill the media library window. Click it again to close the asset. When you’re working with an audio clip or a video, click the play/pause button to preview the asset. Pro Tip: You can make the preview area in the details pane smaller when you need more room to work with the notes field. Hover over the lower boundary of the preview area, then click and drag the boundary to resize the preview area. Managing Alternative Text You can manage alt text in the media library. Select an image, character pose, or video in the asset grid on the left, then enter your text in the details pane on the right. Alt text will be updated wherever the asset is used throughout your course. You can add different alt text to each instance of an asset using the Size and Position window. However, the media library will only display the alt text of the asset. When an asset is used multiple times in your project, you can apply the same alt text to all instances of the asset by clicking the Apply to all button in the media library. Generating Alt Text with AI Assistant Quickly generate alt text by clicking the Generate alt text button below the text field. Learn more about generating alt text from the media library. Managing Closed Captions You can manage closed captions for all of your project’s audio clips and videos in the media library. In the Captions column, assets with captions display caption icons, whereas assets without captions show dots. Add Closed Captions to an Asset Click the dot in the asset grid (the dot changes to a plus sign when you hover over it), or click the Add captions button in the details pane. Then choose how you want to add captions from the menu that appears. You can add captions using the built-in editor, or you can import captions from a file that was created elsewhere. Generating Closed Captions with AI Assistant Add captions fast by clicking the Generate captions button in the Captions tab on the right. Learn more about generating captions from the media library. Manage Closed Captions for an Asset After adding closed captions to an asset, you can edit, replace, export, or delete them. Just click the caption icon in the asset grid or the Edit captions button under the Captions tab. Then choose an action from the menu that appears. Adding Internal Notes to Assets Want to add notes to an asset? Select an asset in the media library and enter your notes in the details pane (up to 2,147,483,647 characters). Notes are only stored in your project file and visible in the media library. They don’t get published with your course, so learners won’t see them. Here are some ideas for using the notes field: Keep track of copyright, source, and attribution details. Enter keywords to help you find assets later. (Notes are searchable.) Store transcripts for videos and audio clips. Describe how assets are to be used. This is helpful when you’re creating a template or working on a project with other e-learning developers. (Articulate 360 Teams subscribers can create a library of shared team slides in Storyline 360. When you share slides with your team, notes in the media library get shared too.) Jumping to Asset Locations in Your Project Want to know how many times you used a particular asset in your course? And how to quickly find every location of that asset in your project? The media library makes it so easy! Select the asset in the list on the left side of the media library, then use the details pane on the right to find its use count and location data. Click the left and right arrows to cycle through the carousel of asset locations. Each location displays the slide number, slide title, and a description of the location, such as base layer, slide layer, or object state. Click the magnifying glass icon to jump directly to the location of the asset in your project. Unused Media Library Assets Get Uploaded with Storyline 360 Team Slides Articulate 360 Teams subscribers can collaborate on projects by creating a library of shared team slides that the whole team can access right from Storyline 360. When you share slides with your team, all media library assets get shared too, including assets that aren’t used anywhere in your project. This is a great way to share assets with your team. For example, you might import company logos, product videos, and other brand elements into the media library so your team has quick access to them as they’re building courses. When you download team slides into an existing project, only the assets used on those slides get imported into your project. On the other hand, when you start a new project using team slides, all the assets that were originally shared with those slides get imported into your project, including unused assets. Using Assets on Slides and Layers Reuse media library assets as often as you’d like throughout your course. Here’s how: Go to the slide or layer where you want to insert a media library asset. Select an asset in the list on the left side of the media library. (Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple assets at the same time.) Click the Insert button at the bottom of the details pane to add the asset(s) to the current slide or layer. You can also use the ribbon to add media library assets to your course. Go to the slide or layer where you want to insert a media library asset. Select the Insert tab on the ribbon and click the drop-down arrow below Picture, Video, or Audio. Then choose Media Library. Select an asset in the list on the left side of the media library. (Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple assets at the same time.) Click the Insert button at the bottom of the details pane to add the asset(s) to the current slide or layer. Replacing All Instances of an Asset The media library makes it brilliantly simple to replace every instance of an asset with another asset all at once. First, select an asset from the list on the left side of the media library. Or, right-click an asset on a slide in your course and select Show in Media Library. Then click the Replace button at the bottom of the details pane and choose a replacement option. Here are your options, depending on the type of asset you’re replacing. Image: Replace an image with a picture file from your computer or a Content Library 360 photo. Character: When you replace a character, the Content Library 360 character browser automatically opens where you can choose another character, expression, and/or pose. For photographic characters, you can replace individual poses, but you can’t replace an entire character group and all of its poses simultaneously. For illustrated characters, you can replace individual poses, or you can swap an entire character group and all of its poses with another illustrated character all at once. Audio: Replace an audio clip with an audio file from your computer or by recording narration with your microphone. Video: Replace a video with a video file from your computer or a Content Library 360 video, or by recording a video with your webcam. Replacing a Single Instance of an Asset You can replace all instances of an asset as described above, or you can replace a single instance of an asset without changing the others. Here’s how. Replace an Image Right-click the image in your course and scroll to Replace Picture. Then choose to replace the image using a picture file from your computer, a Content Library 360 photo, or an image in the media library. (If you use the media library, select a new image and click Replace Image in the details pane.) Here’s another way to replace an image: Select the image in your course and go to the Format tab on the ribbon. Click the drop-down arrow beside Replace Picture and choose one of the replacement options. Replace a Character Right-click the character in your course and scroll to Replace Pose. Then choose to replace the character using the Content Library 360 or the media library. (If you use the media library, select a new pose and click Replace Character in the details pane.) Another way to replace a character is to use the Character Tools—Design tab on the ribbon. Replace an Audio Clip Right-click the audio clip on the timeline (or right-click the speaker icon next to the slide) and scroll to Replace Audio. Then choose to replace the audio clip using an audio file from your computer, an asset in the media library, your microphone, or text-to-speech conversion. (If you use the media library, select a new audio clip and click Replace Audio Clip in the details pane.) Here’s another way to replace an audio clip: Select the audio clip in your course and go to the Options tab on the ribbon. Click the drop-down arrow beside Replace Audio and choose one of the replacement options. Replace a Video Right-click the video in your course and scroll to Replace Video. Then choose to replace the video using a video file from your computer, a Content Library 360 video, a video in the media library, or your webcam. (If you use the media library, select a new video and click Replace Video in the details pane.) Editing Assets in Third-Party Apps You can use the media library to open assets in third-party apps, such as Photoshop, and then save your changes directly to Storyline 360. Edit Images Select an image in the asset list on the left side of the media library. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) at the bottom of the details pane and choose an app from the list of image editors installed on your computer. When the app opens, edit the image as you’d like. Save your changes and close the app. You’ll see that your edits were automatically saved to Storyline 360 and all instances of the image in your project have been updated. The process for saving edited images to Storyline 360 could be different, depending on the image editor you're using. In many editors, you only need to click the save button. In some editors, you have to save or export the image to the temp folder for your project and overwrite the original image. (The editor should automatically take you to the temp folder.) And in other editors, you might have to save a new version of the image, and then replace the original image in the media library with the new one. Edit Audio Clips Select an audio clip in the asset list on the left side of the media library. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) at the bottom of the details pane and choose an app from the list of audio editors installed on your computer. When the app opens, edit the audio clip as you’d like. Depending on the specific audio editor you’re using, you might not be able to save your changes directly to Storyline 360. You usually need to publish or export audio from the editor first, and then replace the existing audio clip in the media library with the updated audio file. Edit Videos Select a video in the asset list on the left side of the media library. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) at the bottom of the details pane and choose an app from the list of video editors installed on your computer. When the app opens, edit the video as you’d like. Depending on the specific video editor you’re using, you might not be able to save your changes directly to Storyline 360. You usually need to publish or export video from the editor first, and then replace the existing video in the media library with the updated video file. Why is the Edit button grayed out for characters? Characters can’t be edited in third-party apps. However, you can replace one pose with another. You can even swap out an entire illustrated character group and all its poses for another illustrated character. And when you’re working with a character on a slide or layer (outside of the media library), you can use the formatting tools on the ribbon to change its brightness, contrast, picture effects, crop, and more. Reimporting Updated Assets The media library recognizes when there’s a newer version of an asset’s original source file on your computer—for example, when it’s edited outside of Storyline 360. When that happens, a yellow dot appears to the left of the file name in the asset list and a notification appears in the details pane, as shown below. If you want to replace the asset in your project with the newer version, click the Reimport button in the details pane. It’s that easy! Opening an Asset’s Original Folder Location You can open an asset’s original folder location right from the media library. This can be helpful when you need to edit the asset outside of Storyline, or you have similar images on your computer and aren’t sure which one you used in your project. Select an asset in the list on the left side of the media library, then click the Open Folder button at the bottom of the details pane. The folder will open and the source asset will be selected for you. Why is the Folder button grayed out? There are a few reasons why the Folder button might be grayed out or inactive. The original asset or folder was renamed, moved, or deleted. The asset was imported with a slide from another source, such as Content Library 360 or PowerPoint. The asset is a photographic or illustrated character. Exporting Assets Use the media library to export assets so you can reuse them in other projects. Export Images When you export images from the media library, they keep their original file formats and sizes. Select one or more images in the asset list. (Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple images.) Click the Export button in the lower right corner of the media library. Choose the folder where you want to save your image(s). Export Characters When you export photographic characters from the media library, they’re saved as high-quality PNG images. Illustrated characters are saved as EMF vector images. Click the triangle to the left of a character to reveal its poses. Select one or more poses in the asset list. (Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple poses.) Click the Export button in the lower right corner of the media library. Choose the folder where you want to save your character(s). Export Audio Clips When you export audio clips from the media library, they’re saved as MP3 files. Select one or more audio clips in the asset list. (Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple clips.) Click the Export button in the lower right corner of the media library. Choose the folder where you want to save your audio clip(s). Export Videos When you export videos from the media library, they’re saved as MP4 files. Select one or more videos in the asset list. (Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple videos.) Click the Export button in the lower right corner of the media library. Choose the folder where you want to save your video(s). Learn More About Exporting Assets from Storyline 360 While this user guide focuses on using the media library, there are more ways to export assets from a Storyline 360 project. Deleting Assets You can delete assets from the media library if they aren’t used anywhere in your project. Just select an asset in the list on the left side of the screen and click the Delete button in the lower right corner of the details pane. (The button will be grayed out if the asset is in use.) Want to delete multiple assets at the same time? Ctrl+click or Shift+click the assets you want to delete, and then click the Delete button. Why do some assets disappear from the media library when I delete them from slides? Great question! It depends on how you added the assets to your project. When you add an asset to a slide using the ribbon, the asset automatically appears in your media library. And if you later delete the asset from the slide, it also disappears from the media library. However, when you import an asset directly into the media library, it’ll remain in the library until you delete it. If the asset’s use count is zero, you can use the Delete button to remove it from the media library.Storyline 360: Choosing a Player Style (Modern or Classic)
The player is the frame around your slide content that holds navigation features, such as the menu and seekbar. In Storyline 360, you can choose the classic or modern player. Here's how. Switching Between the Modern and Classic Player Styles Comparing the Modern and Classic Player Styles Switching Between the Modern and Classic Player Styles You can switch between the modern and classic players. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click Player, then choose a style from the Player Style drop-down list. New projects automatically use the modern player, but you can switch to the classic player. Projects created before the modern player was introduced will continue to use the classic player, but you can switch to the modern player at any time. Comparing the Modern and Classic Player Styles We’ll explore the modern and classic player styles below, and this article provides more details. How Modern and Classic Players Look The modern player gives desktop and mobile learners a unified experience that’s consistent across all devices, while the classic player looks different on desktop computers and mobile devices. The modern player also makes customizing colors easy. Select a built-in theme or create your own theme, then choose an accent color from the color selector. The classic player requires more effort for color customization. How They Behave on Mobile Devices and Desktop Computers Both player styles are responsive on tablets and smartphones, giving learners the best viewing experience on every screen size and orientation. The sidebar collapses, browser chrome is eliminated, and player controls are mobile-friendly. This gives your slide content more room to shine. On desktop computers, the modern player scales smoothly to completely fill learners’ browsers by default, while the classic player doesn’t. Both player styles have the option to lock the player size or let it adjust to learners' browsers. How the Player Features Work The modern player style boasts more exclusive player features, as described below. Modern Player Classic Player Enable or disable the play/pause button and seekbar independently. Enable or disable the play/pause button and seekbar as a single unit. Make the seekbar conditional so learners can't skip ahead until they've completed each slide. The classic player doesn't have a conditional seekbar. The seekbar appears across the bottom of the screen on all devices and orientations except smartphones in landscape mode. On smartphones in landscape mode, the seekbar is a circular indicator that travels around the play/pause button. When a slide is paused or it finishes playing, the seekbar changes to a line across the bottom of the screen. The seekbar appears across the bottom of the screen on desktop computers and tablets/smartphones in portrait mode. The seekbar is a circular indicator that travels around the play/pause button on tablets and smartphones in landscape mode. The logo appears on desktop computers and tablet devices. Due to limited screen real estate, it doesn't show on smartphones. You can add alt text to your logo so it's accessible to screen readers and other assistive technologies. The logo appears on desktop computers but not tablets or smartphones. The classic player doesn't support logo alt text. You can choose to collapse the sidebar by default, allowing learners to expand it when they need it. On small screens, the sidebar automatically collapses to give your content more room. The sidebar is always expanded on desktop and laptop computers. It’s always collapsed on mobile devices. Topbar tabs are always on the side of the player opposite the sidebar. If your sidebar is on the left, your topbar tabs are on the right. And if your sidebar is on the right, your topbar tabs move to the left. On small screens where there isn’t enough room to display topbar tabs, they’ll collapse into a drop-down menu represented by three dots. To see your topbar tabs, click the dots. You can have topbar tabs on both the right and left sides of the player. On tablets and smartphones, topbar tabs automatically collapse into the responsive mobile player. To see your topbar tabs, just click the menu icon (☰). Quickly turn off all modern player features for a chromeless look by flipping a switch. Turning off all player features for a chromeless design takes more work than the modern player. Details here. Choose a style for navigation buttons. Previous, next, and submit buttons can be icons, text, or both icons and text. Due to limited space on smartphones, they’ll always be icons On desktop and laptop computers, navigation buttons are always text. On tablets and smartphones, they’re always icons. By default, the modern player scales smoothly to completely fill learners’ browsers on every device and screen size. You also have the option to lock the player size or let it adjust to learners' browsers. Details here. Plus, you can add a player toggle to let learners view courses in full-screen mode. You can only lock the player size or let it adjust to learners’ browsers. Details here. Let learners explore at their own pace by choosing a course playback speed between 0.25x and 2x. The classic player doesn't support speed control. The light and dark themes of the modern player meet and exceed WCAG Level AA guidelines for visual contrast and color by default. Details here. Or, you can define a custom background and accent color instead. You can make the classic player meet contrast guidelines by manually customizing the colors of each player component. Choose colors with a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 or higher. Customize your course start page with an image. The classic player doesn’t support cover photos. However, the course start page matches the top and bottom colors you set for Base>Main Background. Increase or decrease the font size for closed captions and player features independently. You can also choose the foreground and background colors and placement of your captions. Increase or decrease the font size for closed captions and player features as a single unit. Choose two colors—one light and one dark—for the accessibility focus indicator so it's visible against any background. Choose a single color for the focus rectangle. If your course has background audio, learners can turn it on or off via the accessibility controls. The classic player supports accessibility controls. However, it doesn't support background audio. All modern player features are supported on desktop computers and mobile devices. All classic player features are supported on desktop computers, and most are supported on mobile devices.
