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
Hey folks, just wanted to make sure you saw Storyline's latest update this week. Included is a feature that's sure to change how you build accessible courses forever. Built into Storyline is now an accessibility checker. With one click, the accessibility checker scans your course and generates a detailed report listing accessibility issues and shows you step-by-step how to fix them. Key features: Real-time scanning: One click, and it instantly finds potential accessibility issues. Guided fixes: It doesn’t just find problems, it shows you exactly how to fix them and includes one-click fixes. 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.Storyline's 2025 Year In Review
🎉 Wrapping up 2025 with a grateful (and honestly pretty tired) smile. It’s been a big year for Storyline 360, so I wanted to share a few highlights before we close the book. This year was about making Storyline more helpful in very real, practical ways, not just adding shiny features for the sake of it. A few things I’m especially proud of: 🚀 AI started pulling its weight This wasn’t about slapping a chatbot into the product. We focused on tangible wins that save time and reduce friction. Things like high-quality text-to-speech, automatic captions for audio and video, AI-generated alt text, image generation, and even quiz question generation. These are the kinds of tasks that used to slow authors down but should now feel easy or even trivial. We also introduced AI-generated JavaScript entrance animations, which might look like a small feature on the surface, but it’s actually a big deal for the future of AI in Storyline. We reworked how the AI Assistant chat works and laid the foundation for a whole new wave of AI-powered features. In 2026, we’re excited to keep pushing this further, helping you create objects and triggers, sync things on the timeline, and design better, more interactive courses without needing to be a power user on day one. ♿ Accessibility made meaningful progress The new Accessibility Checker, better screen reader support, Set Focus triggers, and captioning improvements were all driven directly by customer feedback. There’s still more to do, but this year delivered real improvements that authors and learners can feel. 🎨 More expressive interactivity and design tools Fluid morph transitions, new emphasis animations, shape merging, and a new JavaScript API opened up a lot of creative space. Courses don’t have to feel static anymore, and we’re seeing authors do some really impressive things with these tools. 🎥 Media just works better now We made some investments in media support this year for cleaner caption workflows, better playback reliability, and fewer weird edge cases. We also snuck in support for WebM, which enables videos with transparent backgrounds and unlocks some really fun design possibilities. A lot of unglamorous work here, but it makes a big difference day to day. 🛠️ A mountain of fixes and polish Hundreds of quality-of-life improvements landed this year. Some tiny, some massive, all aimed at making the authoring experience smoother and more predictable. None of this happens without customers pushing us, questioning us, and telling us when something feels off. That feedback keeps us honest, so please keep it coming. If you’ve used any of these features, I’d genuinely love to hear what’s working for you and what still feels rough. Tell me straight. What helped the most this year, and where did we miss? Here’s to an even better 2026!
