Audio-Button functions and states within selfbuild WBT menue and options
Hi everyone, currently I am working on a selfbuild WBT menue with own options on buttons (like refresh, fullscreen, turn on/off subtitles, etc.). This also includes a button for un/muting audio. (Screenshot "Menue 1") Until now I tried a lot; made my way through own ideas, tutorials in various forum posts or videos, asked colleagues, tried prompts in Copilot and so on. The thing is, I always get stuck evertime at the same point. Therefore, I am reaching out to you in hope that you can help me out. My setup is the following - first slide in master slide view: I have a button that consists of these elements grouped together: a circular “Ellipse” element, and above it a vector graphic of an ear. This vector graphic has the normal state (regular ear Icon) and the state selected (ear Icon crossed out). (Screenshot Icon states) The Ellipse has also a second state for hovering with a slight shadow around the circle. Then, to make things even a little bit more complicated, when the user can either click this button directly from the side menue. But if they navigate to the "Menue"-Button, the side menue will expand, laid out on another layer (Screenshot "Menue 2 Expanded"). Next to each button is a section reading the function of the button and thanks to a hotspot over each section, it is also clickable. So the button must be functioning and changing it's states in both ways: regular menue and expanded menue - and from the expanded menue as well. Goal; what should be the effects by clicking the Audio button? As soon as the user clicks on the button group, the audio on the slide should be muted and the state of the vector graphic should change: an ear crossed out. When the user clicks this button again, the audio should be unmuted, and the vector graphic should return to its original state (the normal ear). So, the audio should not be stopped and resumed: The audio should be "playing" without sound in the background with continuous timeline. A slide can also contain multiple consecutive audio files that play one after the other. The audio button un/mutes all of them when the user clicks the button. And when the user moves to the next slide, the WBT should remember that the selected function (audio is turned off/on) and show the ear icon accordingly (as crossed out/normal). Point 3 and 4 shall also apply for the audios of videos: So the video-part is still going on while the audio can be muted/unmuted. --> To make it trickier: This should also work for the case when there are audios and videos on one slide. Has anyone an idea how to solve this riddle and incorporate all the required speficiations? I would be beyond grateful. I uploaded a scrubbed, condensed version of my SL project file. So that you can have a look on the setup and previous as well as actual triggers, Javascripts etc. Thanks in advance for your support Best regardsImporting Question Banks into Storyline
Hi, I'm new to Storyline and I'm having trouble importing a question bank of 40 questions which we have been working on and finalised in a word document. I've tried using the word document and an excel file, however an error came up saying 'one or more questions in the provided file were not correctly formatted'. I used a PowerPoint slide which did import successfully but I'm not sure how to then convert the questions into another format such as graded and freeform. Is it possible to import an established bank of questions and then design them in Storyline without having to re-write them or is it easier to start from scratch and copy and paste into a template in Storyline? Thanks for your advice! ErikaChanging Data Centre from US to EU
Dear Community/Support Team, I need adivce. My subscription is expiring in a few weeks, and I would like to renew it. However, I need to change my data center from the US to the EU (we are based in the EU, yet for some reason, our account is allocated to the US data center) as I’m experiencing issues sharing files with external partners. Could you please clarify the process for making this change? I was informed that one option is to let the account expire and start a new one, but I’m concerned about what will happen to my Rise files and other content. I’d really appreciate your guidance on the best way to proceed. Thank you in advance for your help.AI TTS and SSML functionality
Hello everyone, I would like to bring the attention of the community on AI TTS and the limited use of SSML with it. I know that it is not supported because you built AI voices "to understand the relationship between words and adjust delivery accordingly". However, AI voices mispronounce acronyms and other words like company names and such. By saying that I am forced to use the old TTS voices, and it is a bit upsetting because the AI voices sound indeed more natural and "human", big benefits in e-learning for ensuring a more pleasant learning experience for our users. This is a request to work on SSML for AI voices because I strongly believe it is needed. AnnaDrag-Items do not return to start point when dropped outside correct target
Hello everyone, I'm having trouble with a drag-and-drop activity. Even though I've configured the settings correctly, items that are dropped in the wrong place don't return to the starting point when they're placed outside the correct target area. They just stay wherever you drop them. Even slides that used to work are now malfunctioning. Is this a bug, or are there other settings I'm not aware of? I'd appreciate any advice! Best regards, KatrinOnline eLearning portfolio platform
Hello folks, For those who have created an online portfolio to showcase your eLearning projects what platform did you use to create your portfolio? What should a newbie to creating an online portfolio (me) be aware of when taking this on? Your advice and experience is greatly appreciated!

The ask: I need advice on the best way to add a pause between slides that auto advance. Initially I extended the timeline by a few seconds. This works well for the initial course. However... The issues that complicates: My course has 2 languages. The second language typically has longer timelines. With the longer language (I have to manually extend those timelines; otherwise the slide cuts off) plus the added few seconds to extend the timeline. The initial course then has a much longer timeline. For 2 languages, our best practice is to create one course, not 2. Any advice on fixing my slides?
