You can customize these properties for embedded videos in Storyline 360: Its volume in relation to the overall course audio Where it appears on the slide and when it plays Whether it includes built-in player controls Whether it's compressed during publishing Its alternative text and closed captions How it's sized and arranged with other objects on the slide To access video properties, click once on the video you want to edit, then go to the Options tab on the ribbon. Working with Video Options You can use any of these options for embedded videos: Preview This option lets you play the selected video. Click the button again to stop it. Video Volume This option lets you adjust the relative volume of your video. Low lowers the volume to 50% of its original level. Medium sets the volume to 100%, meaning the original volume remains unchanged. This is the default option. High raises the volume to 150% of its original level. Mute silences the video. This option isn't supported for website videos. Edit Video This option lets you customize the video. When the built-in video editor opens, you can trim and crop to show only the parts you want, adjust the volume, brightness, and contrast to enhance quality, and add a logo or watermark for branding. This option isn't supported for website videos. Show Video This option lets you choose whether to display the video in the slide or a new browser window. Play Video Choose one of these options to decide when you want the video to start playing. This property will be grayed out if you display the video in a new browser window—see above. Automatically plays the video as soon as the slide's timeline reaches the start of the video object. To learn about the timeline, read this user guide. When clicked plays the video when learners click it. From trigger plays the video when a specific event has occurred, such as clicking a button. To learn about triggers, read this user guide. This option isn't supported for website videos. Usually, learners need to click on web videos to play them. Some browsers still allow web videos to autoplay if the autoplay feature is enabled in your embed code, but most browsers block media from autoplaying. Video Controls Enable accessible video controls and pick a dark or light theme color for them. Choose Show none to omit accessible video controls. If you're using the classic player, choose Below video from the drop-down to add a separate legacy playbar to the video, so learners can play, pause, rewind, and fast forward it. Choose None to omit the separate playbar for the video. This option isn't supported for website videos. Compression Choose Automatic from the drop-down to have Storyline 360 compress your video files when you publish. Choose None if you don’t want to compress your video files. Video quality will be higher, but the file will also be larger. This option is only supported for MP4 videos created with baseline, main, or high profiles. All other video files are compressed when published. Add Captions Edit Captions This option will change depending on whether your video already has captions. Click it to open the closed captions editor, where you can fine-tune imported captions or quickly add new ones with the help of caption placeholders already synced with your video. Import Export Delete These options let you import, export, and delete closed captions. Read this user guide for details. Arrange This option lets you arrange the video alongside other slide objects. Size These fields let you resize the video on the slide. Enter values in pixels. The aspect ratio of your video stays the same—changing one value will automatically adjust the other. Additional Right-Click Options for Working with Videos You can access several more video options by right-clicking a video placeholder: Group This option lets you group a video with other slide objects. This is useful if you want to rotate a video. Although videos can't be rotated on their own, they can be rotated when grouped with another object. Bring to Front Send to Back This option lets you arrange your video with other slide objects. Preview Video This option lets you play the selected video. Click anywhere outside the video to stop it. Edit Video This option lets you edit your video using the built-in video editor. This option isn't supported for website videos. Change Embed Code This option lets you modify the embed code. This option is only supported for website videos. Replace Video This option lets you replace the original video without losing your video properties. Choose a Video from File, browse Content Library 360 Videos, select a video from the Media Library, or Record a webcam video. Export Video This option lets you export the video from Storyline 360. It saves as an MP4 file. Show in Media Library This option lets you view the video in the media library. Set Poster Frame This option lets you assign a placeholder image to your video. Choose a Picture from File or browse Content Library 360 Photos. This is especially useful if you've configured your video to play only when learners click it. The poster frame will be visible to learners until they click it to play the video. To remove the poster frame, right-click the video again and select Remove Poster Frame. Export Frame as Picture This option allows you to export a video frame as an image from Storyline 360. It saves as a PNG file. Rename This option lets you change the default names (Video 1, Video 2, etc.) assigned to videos in Storyline 360. Another way to rename videos and other objects is to use the timeline. Size and Position This option lets you specify an exact size and position for your video. To learn about the Size and Position window, read this user guide. Accessibility This option lets you open the Size and Position window directly to the Accessibility tab, where you can add alt text and closed captions.

Enhance your Storyline 360 courses with videos from files and websites, and learn how to make your media accessible to all learners. To learn how to add videos from Content Library 360, read this resource. Add a Video from a File Add a Video from a Website Make Videos Accessible Add a Video from a File Note: Videos are automatically synchronized with the slide and controlled by the timeline. Here’s how to add a video from a file: First, do either of the following: In Slide View, go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click the Video drop-down arrow, and choose Video from File. Or, drag a video file from your computer and drop it on your course slide. In Form View, go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click the Media drop-down arrow, and choose Video from File. Browse to the video you want to use and click Open. MP4 videos are supported in Storyline 360. The following file formats get converted to MP4 in Storyline 360: 3G2 3GP ASF AVI DV M1V M2V M4V MOV MPE MPEG MPG QT WMV Tips: If your video placeholder is difficult to see because it appears as a white, black, or transparent rectangle in Storyline 360, right-click it and choose Set Poster Frame. Then, browse for an image file to use as the video placeholder. If you add a video without captions, AI Assistant prompts you to generate them automatically. Click Generate Captions to create captions for your video. To generate captions automatically next time, check the box to Remember my choice for future imports. You can adjust this preference anytime from the Features tab on the Storyline Options window. Add a Video from a Website Note: Website videos play independently of the slide and aren’t controlled by the timeline. Here's how to embed videos hosted on websites such as YouTube and Vimeo. In Slide View, go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click the Video drop-down arrow, and select Video from Website. Copy the video embed code from the hosting website and paste it into the Insert Video from Website box. Click Insert. Make Videos Accessible Video accessibility fosters inclusivity and boosts comprehension for all learners. Here are a few tips to make videos accessible: Turn off autoplay. Video content that autoplays can disrupt learning and interfere with assistive technologies. Adjust video properties to prevent autoplay and enable playback speed control. (1.4.2 Audio Control). Enable accessible video controls. Turn on the accessible video controls in Storyline 360's modern player for a more inclusive and flexible learning environment. (2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide). Use closed captions. Closed captions help all learners fully engage with and comprehend your content. You can import captions, create your own, or let AI Assistant generate them for you automatically—all right in Storyline 360. Position captions at the top or bottom of your slides and customize the foreground and background colors to maximize readability. (1.2.2 Captions [Prerecorded]). Provide synchronized video transcripts. Synchronized video transcripts can be automatically generated from closed captions. Transcripts should include descriptions of narration, sound effects, and other audiovisual elements. (1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative [Prerecorded]). Use audio descriptions where necessary. Include audio descriptions that narrate important visual details not conveyed through dialogue. This practice gives learners with visual disabilities access to all the necessary information and allows them to understand the content thoroughly. (1.2.5 Audio Description [Prerecorded]). Keep your language simple. Use plain language in your video content and descriptions. Straightforward and clear language helps your audience easily read and understand the information. Avoid distracting videos. Stick with non-flashing videos. Content that flashes, blinks, or flickers more than three times per second is distracting and can trigger seizures in learners with photosensitive epilepsy. (2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below Threshold).

Sharing Rise 360 training with a quick share link is easy. Quick Share is a lightweight distribution tool for rapidly sharing everyday training. It also offers a per-course dashboard that collects training views and, when the guestbook function is enabled, the names and emails of learners. Anyone can access content with a quick share link by simply copying and pasting the URL into a browser. Learners are taken directly to the content and can either start the training immediately or access the training after providing a password, guestbook information, or both. If your course is offered in multiple languages via Articulate Localization, users will be able to select an available language. Keep reading to learn more. Publish with Quick Share Access Engagement Metrics FAQs Publish with Quick Share Open the content you want to share from your Rise 360 dashboard. From the course outline or microlearning, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen. At a glance, you can see what settings are enabled for your training. If you're happy with the defaults, skip to the final step. Select Quick Share. If you're an owner or collaborator, you have the option to require a password to access the training. Select the password status and enter a password, then click Save. Learners won't have access to the training unless they enter the password whenever they use the quick share link. Owners and collaborators can also disable the guestbook function. Click the guestbook status, toggle the guestbook Off, and click Save to disable. This requires learners to enter their name and email address prior to accessing the training. Live updates are disabled by default, a blue dot appears next to the Publish menu when you update your content. Another blue dot appears next to Quick Share. To make your changes visible to anyone with the quick share link, select Quick Share and click Publish updates. To have quick share update content automatically as authors make changes, select the Live Updates status and toggle on Enable live updates. Click Save. Click Copy link to share the URL with your learners. Access Engagement Metrics See how many learners have viewed your content by opening the Publish menu of your shared content. The view count and number of guestbook entries are listed on the Quick Share option. Select Quick Share and click View engagement to see your Guestbook. Guestbook entries are sorted by view date, with the most recent views at the top. If a learner visits your training more than once, only their most recent visit is noted in the guestbook. Click Export to download a CSV file that includes learner names, email addresses, and the date they last viewed the training. Note: The view count includes repeat views by the same learner. You may need to refresh your training view to see the latest engagement information. FAQs How is Quick Share different from Reach 360? Quick Share is a lightweight distribution tool to rapidly share everyday training when robust reporting and learner management isn't required. Reach 360 is a full-featured learner and content management distribution platform with deep analytics. It supports advanced publishing options such as completion criteria and certificates, and it tracks learner progress. What if I already have Preview links for my content? If you've previously shared your content via a Preview link (also known as share links), those links will still work. However, they won't gather engagement information until you publish an update and distribute that new link as a quick share link. Please note that Preview links viewed prior to the Quick Share feature aren't included in the view count. I have a trial account—can I use Quick Share? Quick Share is available to anyone with an Articulate 360 account. However, during your Articulate 360 trial, external links and code blocks are disabled in content shared via Quick Share. How is Quick Share different from an LMS? Quick Share doesn't require a third-party platform to distribute content. Anyone can see a shared training without having to log in or create an account. However, advanced LMS features such as certification and centralized reporting aren't available when distributing via Quick Share. Can I embed content on my webpage using quick share links? No. If you embed a quick share link on your webpage (usually done by inserting the quick share URL into iframe code), the content won't display. We recommend publishing a web package if you need to host the content on your own server. Can I share quick share links outside of my organization? Will non-Articulate customers have to sign up for an account? Quick share links can be shared with any learner, not just members of your organization. These links take learners directly to the content without needing to sign in. Is there a way to log who views my quick share links? The guestbook is enabled by default for quick share links. When enabled, learners must enter their email, first name, and last name to access shared training. View learner information by selecting View engagement on the Quick Share screen for your training. Is there a limit to how many learners can view training via Quick Share? At this time, there are no limits on the number of learners who can view training accessed via Quick Share. Do quick share links expire? Quick share links expire only when the associated training is deleted. Why did my quick share link content show up in a search engine? Quick share links are public, but we prevent search engines from indexing our site. However, if you post these links on a public web page, they may be indexed by a search engine. If your training contains confidential or proprietary information, set a password to limit access.2.7KViews6likes0CommentsArticulate 360: Managing Your Profile and Account

Ready to distribute your Rise 360 content to learners? You’ve got options! In addition to using Quick Share and Reach 360, you can export your content for LMS distribution, host it on your own web server, or download it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Publish an LMS Package Publish a PDF File Publish Web-Only Output Publish an LMS Package If you use a third-party LMS, you can export your Rise 360 content in a variety of compatible formats. Rise 360 supports xAPI-, SCORM-, AICC, and cmi5-compliant LMSs. Open the content you want to publish from your Rise 360 dashboard. Then, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select LMS. Choose an LMS standard: xAPI (Tin Can API), SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2, AICC, or cmi5. Note: For xAPI and cmi5, if you alter the pre-generated identifier, don't use special characters. Select a Tracking option. All content can be tracked by completion percentage or Storyline block. Courses can also be tracked by quiz result. If you're tracking by course completion or quiz result and exporting a SCORM, AICC, or cmi5 package, you can choose a reporting option. Note: Not all complete/incomplete options are available for reporting on microlearning content. Tracking completion through multiple options is available only when publishing to Reach 360. Choose whether to display an Exit Course Link for learners and/or toggle the Hide Cover Page option. Selecting these options may help resolve third-party LMS issues. Note that you can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates. Less-frequent LMS issues may be solved by options in the More settings menu: If you delete a lesson in your course, then update the course in your LMS, some learners might see a blank page. If this happens, toggle Reset Learner Progress and click Continue to confirm. When learners launch the newly updated course in your LMS, their progress will be reset. Their quiz data will be retained. This option isn't available for xAPI exports. If your LMS supports hiding the Suspend, Continue, and Close buttons at the top of your training, you might see duplicate buttons in training exported using SCORM 2004. Toggle Hide LMS Interface to hide these extra buttons. Click Publish in the upper right corner again to generate the package. (If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask if you want to edit the content or continue.) Click Back to... in the upper right corner to continue working while Rise 360 generates your zip file. When it’s ready, you’ll receive an email notification with a download link.

Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Content on the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. That’s it! You can read the PDF file offline, print it, distribute it to others, or even attach it to your Rise 360 content as an optional download using an attachment block. Interactive elements of your Rise 360 training may display differently in your PDF file. Here's how interactive blocks are displayed in PDFs. Hyperlinks work as expected and launch in your default web browser. Audio clips, videos, web objects, and custom blocks become static placeholder images. Interactions such as labeled graphics and tabs become a series of screenshots, one for each item in the interaction. (Each flashcard becomes two screenshots, one for the front and another for the back.) A Storyline block becomes a screenshot of the first slide in the project. Quiz lessons and knowledge check blocks display questions and answer choices. They don’t show correct/incorrect responses or feedback statements. Code blocks display a compatibility error message. Publish Web-Only Output You can also export Rise 360 content as web-only output and host it on your own web server. Here’s how. Open the content you want to export from your Rise 360 dashboard. Then, click Publish in the upper-right corner of the screen, and select Web. Choose whether you'd like to include the cover page and click Publish. The zip file auto-generates. If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 first asks if you want to edit the content or continue with the export. Click Back to... in the upper right corner to continue working while Rise 360 generates your zip file. When it’s ready, you’ll receive an email notification with a download link.

You'll be charged a small fee if you go over the free limit. See this video tutorial by Tom Kuhlmann to learn more about Google Cloud. Once the files are uploaded, provide learners with a link to the index.html file.48KViews0likes0CommentsReach 360: Publish Training
To add training to your account library, it must be published. Once it's live, you can enroll learners and groups or learners can discover it for themselves. Keep reading to see how to get training into the hands of your learners. Publish New Training Publish Updates to Existing Training Note: Reach 360 Admins can directly publish training from Rise 360 if they're also an Articulate 360 seatholder on their team. Publish New Training On the Courses section of the Manage tab, newly submitted content is listed at the top of the training list with an Unpublished button. Unpublished items are always listed before content with submitted changes. Don't see your training listed? If you're an Articulate 360 seatholder, you can also click Add Courses and select Publish Courses from Rise to open Rise 360. Note: Reach 360 content creators can select an admin to notify by email when submitting Rise 360 training. Storyline 360 training submissions automatically send a notification email to all admins. Click the item in the list and click the Publish Course button. The author may have modified these values already, but you can change them here before publishing. Above the title, click Preview Course to open the submitted training in a new tab. This doesn't count as an active learner event. For Rise 360 courses, set training completion parameters. Learners can complete the training by viewing a specified percentage, passing a selected quiz lesson in the training, or both. You can also choose to publish the training without a completion requirement. Note: If the author lowers the passing score of a quiz after the training is published, learners will have to take the quiz again in the republished training to gain the benefit of the lowered score, even if their prior score would be a success with the new parameters. The training duration value is how long it takes the average learner to complete the training. The default value is 30 minutes and can be overwritten. Select the Completion Celebration option to display an animated celebration for learners when they meet the completion parameters. You can also provide learners with a downloadable completion certificate. Note: If a user takes training as part of a learning path that has a completion certificate, they'll only be able to download one certificate for that learning path, not the individual certificates of its composite items. Set how long a learner has to complete the training after they've enrolled. You can set a specific date, no due date, or a custom timeframe of your choosing. When selecting an interval of a set number of days, the time period begins when the learner is enrolled in the training. If you’d like learners to be able to find this training in your account library, set Library Visibility to On. If set to Off, only those learners enrolled in the training will be able to take it. Also, we recommended turning off library visibility if the training is part of a learning path. Once library visibility is enabled, you can select the library where users can find it. Click the Choose Topic button, then select as many topics as apply from the pop-up menu. Use the search bar to filter the topic list. Click the X once you’re finished. Remove an already-added topic by clicking its X icon. Click Publish to complete the publishing process and return to the training details. Publish Updates to Existing Training When an author submits changes to training, it moves to the top of the training list under any unpublished training and displays a New Changes button. Click the training to access the training details. Click the Publish Updates button to open the Publish Course window. Review the publish settings as detailed in the previous section, making any changes as necessary. Note: When you republish an existing training where each lesson has been updated, the manually modified training duration value will be overwritten. Click Publish. Learners aren't notified when training is updated, you'll have to let them know there are changes. They'll see your updated content if they're currently taking or retake the training. If they've already completed the previous version of the training, their progress isn't reset.

We understand that business needs may sometimes require you to scale down the size of your Articulate 360 Teams subscription, and we're here to support you. When you request a creator license reduction, we’ll update your number of licenses at renewal, and our system will remove creators to reach the reduced count. Unassigned licenses will be removed first, then unclaimed invites, and finally active licenses, starting with the last one assigned. If the system removes an active creator, the team will lose access to any shared content from the removed creator until that creator rejoins the team subscription. If the removed creator joins a different subscription, they'll lose access to all the content they own—both personal and shared. We can help reconnect these from the backend, but removing creators before renewal gives you more control over what happens to content and avoids disruption. We recommend following these steps: Check your renewal date in the Manage Team tab of your Account Management Console. Before this date, answer these questions: Which users do you want to remove from the team? Who will receive their shared content? Will you let them keep their personal content? Review this user guide on managing content when users leave your team. Before renewal day, remove the users and transfer their content based on your answers in step #2.763Views0likes0CommentsStoryline 360: Importing Slides from PowerPoint

Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, and choose PowerPoint. Browse to the PowerPoint file you want to import and click Open. Tip: If you're importing a PowerPoint file that includes Presenter resources (such as audio), be sure the *.ppta file is located in the same folder as the PowerPoint file. Otherwise, Storyline 360 will import only the PowerPoint slides, not the corresponding Presenter resources. If you opened the wrong PowerPoint file or want to select a different one, click the ellipsis button (...) in the upper right corner to browse for another file. Storyline 360 will display thumbnail images for all slides in the presentation. Select the slides you want to import. By default, all slides will be imported unless you choose otherwise. You can tell which slides are selected by their blue outline. To select or deselect a slide, just click it. The blue outline will either appear or disappear to indicate its status. You can also click Select All or None in the upper right corner to quickly select or deselect all slides at once. Use the Insert into scene drop-down at the bottom of the window to choose where the PowerPoint slides should appear in your course. You can insert them into a new scene, which is the default option, or you can choose an existing scene. If you choose a new scene, use the Scene field to give it a name. Click Import to complete the process. Tip: If your presentation includes Quizmaker quizzes or Engage interactions and you encounter an error message that one or more of them can't be found, read this article for solutions.7.2KViews2likes0CommentsRise 360: Manually Translate Your Content
This article covers the process of manually translating Rise 360 content into left-to-right languages using XLIFF exports and imports. This method is best suited for single-language translation. Articulate Localization, available as a subscription add-on, allows for seamless creation of multi-language courses within Rise 360. Learn more by visiting the Articulate Localization user guide, or contact our sales team to learn how you can add Articulate Localization to your subscription. Read on for the manual process. Duplicate Your Content Export the Content as an XLIFF File Import Translated Text Translate Your Labels Translate Training into Multiple Languages Step 1: Duplicate Your Content The first step in the manual process is to duplicate the content you want to translate. The duplicate you create is used for the translated version. On the Rise 360 dashboard, hover over the content you want to translate and click the ellipses icon that appears. Select Duplicate. Enter a name for the duplicate content. (We recommend using the original course title, appended with the language code, such as “fr” for French.) Then, click Duplicate to confirm. The duplicate content appears at the top of your Rise 360 dashboard. Note that you'll need to create a duplicate for every language you want to translate your training into. Alternatively, with Articulate Localization, you can translate your content into 80+ languages (including right-to-left languages) and manage all language versions as a single project stack, right from the Rise 360 dashboard. Step 2: Export the Content as an XLIFF File Open the duplicate content you created in the previous step. Click the Settings icon in the upper toolbar. On the Translations tab, expand Traditional XLIFF Translation. If you're following this guide, skip Steps 1 and 2. Under Step 3, 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. Enter the source language in the Set source course language code field if it's something other than U.S. English (en-us). As you type, a list of available language codes appears. Click Export XLIFF File and save the file to your computer. Edit your exported XLIFF file with a web app, computer program, or professional translation service. If Include HTML formatting was selected, you'll see additional HTML tags and extra spaces in your exported XLIFF file. These are there to preserve your formatting when you import your translated file. Please note that question banks aren't translated when using the manual XLIFF export process. Questions drawn from question banks included in knowledge checks and quizzes are displayed in their original language. To translate question banks, add Articulate Localization to your subscription. Tip: Rise 360 uses XLIFF version 1.2. Step 3: Import Translated Text Once you've translated your content, import the file back into Rise 360. Open the duplicate content. Click the Settings icon in the upper right corner. On the Translations tab, expand Traditional XLIFF Translation. Under Import, click Import Translated Text. Select your translated XLIFF file and click Open. A message displays when your text is successfully imported. Why am I seeing an error? If you see an error message that says the “Translation file doesn’t match this content,” 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 piece of content 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. 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. Let us know if you have any questions. We’re happy to help! Step 4: Translate Your Labels Once your content has been translated, translate your buttons and other built-in navigational elements. Click Settings in the upper right corner. Select the Labels tab. Follow the instructions in this article. Note: In order for the correct language to be assigned to your training so that assistive technologies can communicate the content with the correct presentation and pronunciation, labels must use the same ISO language code as your translated content. Translate Training into Multiple Languages For multiple-language training, we recommend Articulate Localization. Not only does it provide a streamlined experience for translating training into multiple languages, but it also offers a deep set of features custom-built for your translation needs.
