Continue buttons not progressing as expected
This must have happened overnight but when a Continue button is placed at the end of a module, it doesn't automatically progress to the next module. This now occurs with all courses I am actively and previously worked on, essentially breaking navigation. Is this a new feature or bug?New Matching lay-out
Last week we received the updated lay-out of the matching knowledge check. The moment I discovered it was a bit unlucky (during a presentation, got me a bit confused) but today I had some time to look into it. The changelog as following on the articulate website: Enhanced: Matching knowledge check blocks have been upgraded with intuitive navigation, full keyboard support, and comprehensive screen reader integration. Now, I think it's great that Articulate is improving it's software's accessibility, however, I don't see anything intuitive about the new design. A lot of new things have been added which for me only make the assignment more confusing. On the left side the hamburger icon and number suggest some sort of clickability, which is not there. The drop downs on the right give the assignment a new layer of intractability which only wouldn't want for the student. Overall the lay-out is a lot less clean and drains focus away from the content towards the design. Maybe a simple solution would be to add a slider which let's us choose between this lay-out and the previous one (or this one without the rings and bells). That's just my opinion, I was wondering what other think of the new lay-out!NEW: Accessibility Checker in Storyline

Learn by doing: You organically pick up accessibility best practices as you build your course. Documentation: Storyline 360: Improving Experiences With the Accessibility CheckerRise: Matching Knowledge Check Block update from Jan 7, 2025
This is regarding the update now including numbered dropdowns to match the answers. My team often uses them for process steps so the duplication of numbers is not a good experience. We have existing content that will now lose the old aesthetic if we make any updates and republish. Please tell me there are plans to offer turning off the numbered feature. At a minimum, we should be able to choose if it's numeric or alpha, but the fields are locked.Dark mode for Storyline 360
Hi there Just wondering if there is a way now (or will be...) in SL360 settings to have the build tool adjustable to a dark grey background and tool bars like in the MS Office suite and Adobe CC programs. I jump from those with a nice dark grey to Storyline 360 and it's bright white window is a bit of a jolt on the eyes... Cheers SimonRevised Matching KC Interface
Accessibility is at the forefront of our development at Articulate. That's why we were thrilled this past January to finally give our users a version of the matching knowledge check block that was keyboard accessible and screen reader compatible. And while the interface was definitely different, we were even more confident in our design decisions once we got a 100% Fable score, indicating that users with disabilities found it highly accessible. However, over the past few months, we've heard from you, our users, that while improved accessibility is important, the new interface negatively impacted the clean design that Rise 360 is known for. In addition, the selection drop-down menus were confusing for some learners. Our challenge, however, was that there wasn't a way to deliver that clean interface and maintain accessibility without rebuilding the entire matching knowledge check block. So that's exactly what we did. The newly updated matching knowledge check block better reflects the design of the original block. Except now, it provides the keyboard accessibility and screen reader compatibility necessary for modern training. The block works in a way that feels natural. When you select a choice or match using your keyboard, it locks in place, jumping to the opposite column where you select your pair option. In addition to the visual changes and revised navigation, the screen reader provides more intuitive selection options, clearly indicating whether you currently have a choice or match selected. We're also giving you a new settings option to freeze the choices or matches column when a pair is selected. We think this updated matching knowledge check is a win/win and hope you do as well. Please let us know in the comments below what you think.Translation / localization
Hi, We currently have our course in English only, but more and more we get requests to translate the content. The content is mostly text and speech (generated with the text to speech feature). I know about the feature on how to export, translate and import again, but now with AI and LLM and translation tools like DeepL is there a smarter and easier way to do it than duplicating slides and courses in different languages? Anyone with ideas, experience or suggestions? I am happy to hear what you think.
