Rise 360: Personalize the Theme
You can easily customize your theme 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 Select Course Navigation and Button Style Change the Lesson Header Hide Author Avatars Set the Theme Color and Adjust Contrast Change Fonts Modify Blocks Change the Cover Photo A cover photo is added by default when you create your content.The photo is used in various theme layouts. You can upload your own photo or search for the perfect image from an extensive library of gorgeous, royalty-free photographs. If you prefer not to use a cover photo in your content, that’s fine too. Select a cover page layout that doesn't include a photo 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 generate an image with AI Assistant, upload an image, or browse Content Library 360. You can also edit the photo in the cover page settings. From the edit menu, you can crop the current image or adjust the overlay for your cover photo. If it’s hard to see your title with a photo 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. ClickSave 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. Select 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. 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. Change the Lesson Header For courses, select Lesson Headers from the themes sidebar. To disable lesson headers, toggle the Hide Lesson Headers setting to On. When turned on, the lesson count label, lesson title, and author avatar won't display at the top of each lesson. Additional lesson header options in the Theme menu are disabled. There are several available header layouts. Select one to see it with your current content in the main window. If you'd like to use an image as your header, select the Image style and choose an image from Content Library 360 or upload one of your own. Modify the existing image by clicking Edit Image to access additional menu options. Use the drop-down menu contained here to modify the image overlay color. 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. If you'd like to mix and match heading and body fonts, click the More tab to add and manage your own custom fonts. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. 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.

Reach 360: Manage Your Account Settings
The Settings section of the Manage tab is where admins can modify account-wide settings like organizational information, company logo, notification emails, custom fields, and more. Let's go through each tab. Account Learner Notifications Registration Account The account tab is where you make changes to company info and account-wide settings. Upload Logo Click the Upload Logo button to choose an image from your computer to use as your account logo. Just like that, your logo is updated throughout Reach 360 and at the top of all emails. Pro Tip: Before you upload, make sure you remove as much whitespace as possible from around your logo before uploading the image. Your image should be about 35px high. If you’re using a transparent background, your image file should be saved as a PNG. Company Name and Time Zone Enter your company name and time zone. Due dates are based on the time zone you enter here. Tip: Completion certificates use the name you enter in the Company Name field. Brand Color Select the default accent color for your account with Brand Color. Either select one of the default colors or choose your own (or enter the RGB value) in the color selector that appears when you click Custom. You'll see the selected color across Reach 360 in your logo, buttons, even the favicon. URL If you're an owner, you'll see the option to use a Reach 360 subdomain or a custom domain of your choosing. This allows you to change your Reach 360 subdomain. This URL is where users access your site. If you change your subdomain, users accessing the previous subdomain are automatically redirected to your new subdomain for thirty days. After thirty days, the previous subdomain is released and can be reused by anyone. Tip: Subdomains can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens. Custom Certificates Customize training certificates and manage existing custom certificates by clicking Manage Certificates. These certificates can be assigned as the default certificate for all new training or assigned to specific training. API Keys Generate and manage already-generated API keys to use with the Reach 360 API. SSO If you're the account owner, you can enable SSO for your Reach 360 learners. Learner Notifications The system sends default emails to notify learners when they register, when training is coming due, and when training is overdue. You can send a preview of the current message to your email by clicking Send me a Preview. You can also customize the subject and body of the email by clicking Edit content. Note: Default reminder emails are sent in thelearner's selected language. Preview emails are always sent in English. Editing Learner Notifications Select Manage > Settings > Learner Notifications and, in the appropriate section, click Edit content. Enter text in the Subject field to customize the subject line of the auto-generated email. In the Body field, enter text to customize the body of the email. Click Save Changes to commit the changes. Click the Back to link to return to the Settings tab. For welcome emails, the name and email of the admin that generated the invitation are automatically included below the customized welcome email text. For training reminders, you can use the following dynamic variables in your email templates to personalize and add details specific to each recipient: [learner_name] to add the recipient's name [course_name] to add the course name [due_date] to add the due date Neither the Subject nor the Body field has a character limit. Note: Only new users invited from Reach 360 receive customized emails. Customized emails are sent in the language written. Modifying Email Reminders Learners receive notification emails when they're enrolled in or complete training. They also receive reminders when a due date is pending or training is overdue, when applicable. Email reminders can't be disabled, but they can be customized. Use the Email Reminders section to preview the notifications sent to learners or modify the time period and frequency of reminders. Previews are sent to your registered email address. Note: Any modifications apply to emails only. Changes made here do not affect the timing of Slack or Teams notifications. Registration Self-Registration Enable or disable the option for users to register themselves as learners on your account and customize your self-registration page. Learn more about how this works. This option must be selected to enable group self-registration and direct content sharing. Custom Learner Profile Fields Use custom learner profile fields to collect additional information from learners when they register for your site. This is the page registrants see after verifying the email they provided when clicking an email invite or self-registering. Click Manage Fields to see the custom fields that are currently defined or to add new fields. To add a new field, click Create New and select Text or Drop-down. For text fields, enter a label and an optional description. For drop-down fields, add options for learners to choose from (options display in the order in which they're entered). Click Create when you're finished. Preview how the field looks by clicking the registration page link in the section description (the preview page isn't clickable). Pro Tip: Want to add a learner profile value for existing users? Once you've created the field, you can manually add the value to individual user records. Learner profile fields are visible on individual learner records. Add or edit responses on the Manage > People tab by expanding individual records and clicking the edit icon in the Learner Profile section. You must enter values for all required fields to save your changes. To modify or delete a field, hover over it, click the icon that appears, and select Edit or Delete. When you delete a custom field, all user data associated with that field is also deleted. Adding a custom learner profile field with the same name as one that's been previously deleted doesn't restore previously entered data. Delete individual drop-down options by hovering over the option and clicking the X that displays. Note: Custom field labels and drop-down options must be 50 characters or fewer. Descriptions can have up to 120 characters. Learner entries are restricted to 200 characters or fewer. You can't have more than 200 options for a drop-down field.

Articulate 360 Teams subscribers can pay via credit card orpurchase order. Articulate 360 Teams subscriptions are ideal when you need to purchase on behalf of someone else. For example, your company’s purchasing department might pay for a subscription then designate you as an admin for the account, allowing you to assign seats to users on your team.

Once you’ve entered the name, click Save. It’s that easy! Learn more about naming, renaming, and switching between teams. Understand User Roles There are four types of users in an Articulate 360 Teams account. Account Owner The account owner is the person who bought the subscription and is responsible for billing management. The account owner is the only one who can buy more user seats. If your team has activated Reach 360, the account owner is also the owner there. The account owner is an account admin as well, so they can manage all users, groups, and admins for the whole team. That includes the ability to activate or deactivate Reach 360 and opt in or out of Articulate AI. You can be an account owner for multiple teams, but you can only be a user on one team. Account Admin Account admins manage all users, groups, and admins for the whole team. Details here. Account admins can't make purchasing decisions, but they can ask the account owner to buy more user seats as your team grows. They can also activate or deactivate Reach 360 and opt in or out of Articulate AI. Account admins don't consume user seats (by default), so you can have as many as you'd like. However, if they need to manage the team and create e-learning courses, assign them to user seats so they can use the Articulate 360 apps. If your team has activated Reach 360, account admins can manage Reach 360 admins, managers, and reporters. You can be an account admin for multiple teams, but you can only be a user on one team. Group Admin Group admins manage users in the groups they’re responsible for. They can’t see or manage other groups or admins in the account management console. Details here. Group admins can't make purchasing decisions, but they can ask the account owner to buy more user seats as your team grows. Group admins don't consume user seats (by default), so you can have as many as you'd like. However, if they need to manage the team and create e-learning courses, assign them to user seats so they can use the Articulate 360 apps. You can be a group admin for multiple teams, but you can only be a user on one team. User Users are seatholders. They can use Articulate 360 apps, such as Storyline 360 and Rise 360, and they can submit content for publishing to Reach 360 if it has been activated. Users create e-learning courses and collaborate on projects. You can only be a user on one team. See this article for more information about roles and permissions in Articulate 360. Add and Remove Admins The account owner and account admins can add and remove other admins. Add Admins Admins don’t consume user seats (unless they’ve been assigned to seats), so you can add as many admins to your team as you want. We recommend adding at least two admins in case one is unavailable when you need help. Sign in to your account management console and click Manage Team on the left side of the screen. Click the Admins tab below the organization name. Click the last row, enter the new admin’s email address, and click Invite. New admins will receive an email invitation with instructions to create an account. You’ll want to show them how to manage users, groups, and admins. By default, all admins are account admins, meaning they can manage all users, groups, and admins for the whole team. You can change an account admin to a group admin (and vice versa). Details here. Remove Admins Sign in to your account management console and click Manage Team on the left side of the screen. Click the Admins tab below the organization name.

Here’s how to add users to your team: Sign in to your account management console and click Manage Team on the left side of the screen. If you’re an account admin, make sure the Seats tab is selected below your organization name. If you’re a group admin, you’ll see the groups you’re responsible for. Click an open seat, enter the new user’s email address, and click Invite. Tip: Account admins can import multiple users all at once rather than adding them one by one. List the users’ email addresses in a CSV file, then upload it to your account by clicking Upload a CSV on the seat management screen. See this article for details. New users receive an email invitation with instructions to create an account. You’ll want to show them how to install the Articulate 360 apps and manage their profile.

Rise 360: Create New Microlearning
When it comes to training, sometimes less is more. Microlearning is bite-sized content that's focused on a single learning objective. It's perfect for improving in-the-moment performance and knowledge retention. Use microlearning for one-off concepts or as part of an overall training program. In Rise 360, you can create microlearning that scrolls continuously or steps through content at points you define. Check out the video to see how it works then keep reading to learn more. Create Microlearning Select Navigation Mode Combine Blocks Customize Theme Create Microlearning To create new Rise 360 microlearning content, click the Create button at the top of your Rise 360 dashboard and choose Microlearning. Then select a template or click the Blank Microlearning button in the upper right. The editor then loads your selected template or a blank microlearning. Note: Training content is created in the folder you're currently in. If you're in a team folder, it inherits the collaborator settings for that folder. While we've provided curated microlearning templates, you can create microlearning content from any lesson template. Scroll to the bottom of the template list and click Browse Lesson Library. From there, select any individual lesson template. Customize your template by adding blocks and content. When complete, you can share your content with learners. Note: Since you can't add quizzes to microlearning, you can only track completion based on the percentage viewed. Select Navigation Mode Microlearning is presented as either stepped or continuously scrolling content. For stepped navigation, learners navigate by scrolling or clicking the progression arrows at the top and bottom of the content. If the current step doesn't fully fit on the screen, clicking the bottom arrow displays the additional content until the step is complete. Clicking again advances to the next step. To modify your navigation mode, select Theme > Navigation. There you can choose Continuous or Stepped. By default, stepped navigation has an unnumbered progress indicator bar. You can also select a numbered indicator bar or turn off the indicator bar entirely. Combine Blocks In stepped mode, you have the option to combine multiple blocks together so that they display in the same step. Click the Connect button to link two blocks. Unlink blocks by clicking the Disconnect button. Customize Theme Just like with other content, you can modify theme, cover page, navigation, font, color, and block options from the Theme menu at the top of the page.

There’s more than one way to share Rise 360 content. You can submit it for publishing in Reach 360, export it for LMS distribution, host it on your own web server, or download it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Submit to Reach 360 Publish an LMS Package Publish a PDF File Publish Web-Only Output Submit to Reach 360 If your Articulate 360 team uses Reach 360, you can submit training directly from Rise 360 for an admin to review and publish. Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Reach 360. The Submit to Reach 360 window displays (if the training was previously published, you'll see the date of the last publication). Set completion parameters. Learners can complete the training by viewing a specified percentage, passing a selected quiz lesson (in courses only, microlearning doesn't support quizzes), or both. You can also chooseNo Requirement. Note: If you lower the passing score of a quiz after the course is published, learners have to retake the quiz in the republished course to gain the benefit of the lowered score, even if their prior score would be a success with the new parameters. Selecting the Course Duration option displays the estimated time it takes learners to complete the training on the overview page. This is 30 minutes by default but can be overwritten with your own value. The Completion Celebration option displays an animated, confetti-filled, celebration for learners when they meet the completion parameters. Enable Certificate for course completion to provide learners with a downloadable completion certificate. Training has no due date by default, but you can select a set number of days to complete the training after a learner is enrolled or specify a due date. If you're not a Reach 360 admin, use the searchable drop-down menu to select a specific admin to notify and add a note, such as if you'd like the training to be included in a specific library or if it's part of a learning path. Click Submit to complete the submission process and return to the training. For courses, if you haven't added content to every lesson, you'll be reminded to do so before you can submit a course. Once a Reach 360 admin reviews your submitted course and completes the publishing process, it’ll be available for learners. Publish an LMS Package Export Rise 360 content as an LMS package when you need to track learners’ progress. Rise 360 supports xAPI-, SCORM-, AICC, and cmi5-compliant LMSs. Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, 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: completion percentage, quiz result (in courses only, microlearning doesn't support quizzes), or Storyline block. If you're tracking by course completion or a quiz result and exporting a SCORM, AICC, or cmi5 package, you also get to choose a reporting option. Note: For microlearning content, only select complete/incomplete options are available for reporting. Decide if you want to display an Exit Course Link for learners and/or Hide Cover Page. Selecting these options can help resolve third-party LMS issues. Note: You can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates. 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. (For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the zip file before you have a chance to go back to the editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. Upload the zip package to your LMS. If your LMS requires you to identify the launch file, point to indexapi.html. Note: 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, selectMore settingsand click theReset Learner Progressoption when you export your course. Then, 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. Publish a PDF File Need to print Rise 360 content? Or download it for compliance documentation? Good news! You can export it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select PDF. The PDF file is auto-generated. If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask if you want to edit the content or continue with the export. Click Back to... in the upper right corner to keep working while Rise 360 generates your PDF file. When it’s ready, you’ll receive an email notification with a download link. (For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the PDF before you have a chance to go back to the course editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton 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. Want to see a video demonstration? Click here! Here’s how the interactive parts of your Rise 360 content appear in the PDF file: Hyperlinks work as expected and launch in your default web browser. Audio clips, videos, and web objects 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. Publish Web-Only Output If you don’t need to track learners’ progress, you can export Rise 360 content as web-only output and host it on your own web server. It’s easy! Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Web. The zip file is auto-generated. If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask 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. (For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the zip file before you have a chance to go back to the course editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. Extract the zip package and upload the contents to your web server. If you don't have access to a web server, here are some free options: Amazon S3 offers free hosting with generous usage limits. If you go over your limit, you'll be charged a small fee. See this video tutorial by Tom Kuhlmann to learn more about Amazon S3. Google Cloud also has a free hosting service. 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. When the files are uploaded, give learners a link to the index.html file.

Reach 360: Manage Your Profile
Your profile, by default, displays your initials. Clicking the icon gives you access to profile settings. Here, you can upload a picture, select your default language, change your name, and update your email address. Note: If your role is something other than learner, your Reach 360 profile is read-only. Make changes to your profile in the Articulate 360 account management console. Learners who create an account with Google Authentication can't modify their e-mail address. If your account ismanaged via SSO, you'll need to contact your Reach 360 admin to make changes. We take security seriously at Articulate. That’s why we send an email to your new address to verify changes before updating your profile. To reset your email or password, we send a link to your verified email address with the steps you’ll need to complete. Tip: Passwords must contain at least 8 characters, including a lowercase letter, an uppercase letter, and a number. Your name can't be part of your password. Trying to delete your learner account? Please reach out to your training manager to be removed from training. You can request that we delete your personal information by submitting a case here. Update Your Profile Photo Learners, replace the default profile icon with your own picture by clicking Upload Photo and selecting an image you’d like to use. Use the zoom slider and move the picture until your image fits in the profile photo outline. Click Save to update your profile. If your image looks blurry, it might be too small. Try picking a photo with a higher resolution or zooming out. Note: If your role is something other than learner, you'll change your profile picture in the Articulate 360 account management console. Select Default Language Select your default learner language from the drop-down menu. This translates the user interface (UI) for the Learn tab. You'll also receive default notification emails in your selected language.(If you receive an untranslated notification email after selecting a default language, it's been customized by your account admin.) Note: UI translation doesn't extend to the Analyze or Manage tabs. Manage Integrations The integrations section is where you connect Reach 360 with tools you use every day. If your organization has the Reach 360 app installed in their Slack or Microsoft Teams workspace, click the appropriate Add tobutton to connect your Reach 360 profile. Once connected, you'll receive in-app training notifications and more.

Storyline 360: Adding Content Library 360 Icons
Content Library 360 has 20+ million high-resolution photos, illustrations, icons, and videos. You can access them right from Storyline 360, and they’re all royalty-free with no attribution required. In this article, you’ll learn how to add eye-catching Content Library 360 icons to your courses and how to customize them with your own colors and effects. Adding Content Library 360 Icons to Your Course Customizing Content Library 360 Icons Making Icons Accessible Adding Content Library 360 Icons to Your Course Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon and click Icons in the Content Library 360 group. Type a search term in the field at the top of the media browser and press Enter. Tip: The media browser remembers your last search term, previous search results, and the last asset you selected. Zoom in and out while you’re browsing for icons by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and scrolling your mouse wheel. If you want to look for a different type of media after opening the browser, use the drop-down list in the upper right corner to switch to another type: photos, illustrations, icons, or videos. Select the icon you want to use and click Insert to add it to your slide. Tip: You can select multiple icons at the same time using Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click, then insert them all at once. Customizing Content Library 360 Icons After importing a Content Library 360 icon into your course, you can customize its colors to match your course design. Just select the icon on the slide, go to the Format tab on the ribbon, and use the style galleries to edit the fill color, outline color, and effects. For example, here’s the same icon with different styles. And if an icon is composed of more than one shape, you can ungroup itand format each shape individually. Just right-click the icon, scroll to Group, and click Ungroup to see all the components that make up the icon. Here's an example of an ungrouped icon. You can tell if an icon is one shape or many by right-clicking it. If the Group option is grayed-out, it’s a single shape. If the Group option is active, it’s composed of multiple shapes. Here’s an example of a multi-shape icon. The original icon on the left has no formatting. The same icon in the middle has been recolored all at once (without ungrouping it). And the same icon again, but this time ungrouped, with specific formatting for each component is on the right. Making Icons Accessible When icons are designed with accessibility in mind, they are more likely to be intuitive and user-friendly for everyone, not just those with disabilities. Here’s how to make your icons accessible: Meet color contrast guidelines. You can use a web-based contrast checker or download a contrast checker tool to test the contrast ratio of your icons (1.4.11 Non-text Contrast). Reduce ambiguity. Use icons that communicate their functions clearly and are widely understood across different cultures and demographics. If you use an icon as a button, provide a text label that matches the icon’s function (2.5.3 Label in Name). Size appropriately. Adjust the size of any interactive icon to at least 44 pixels wide and 44 pixels tall. This ensures your icons are large enough for learners to interact with without error (2.5.5 Target Size). Offer multiple ways to navigate. Icons must be navigable by assistive technologies like screen readers to ensure an inclusive browsing experience (2.1.1 Keyboard). Stay consistent. Reuse the same icon to signify the same meaning. This lets learners know what to expect from each icon (3.2.4 Consistent Identification). Rely on text—not icons—to convey important details. Offer text-based options and make sure each icon has alternative text (alt text) descriptions. Icons that are purely decorative don’t need alt text. Hide them from accessibility tools to prevent unnecessary announcements (1.1.1 Non-text Content).
