SumTotal LMS + Storyline 360 — Long‑Term Advancement Path Modules
Hi all — I’m looking for advice from organizations using Storyline 360 with SumTotal LMS to support staff advancement paths. Our use case: We use Storyline 360 modules within SumTotal Training Plans for advancement. Learners enter written, experience‑based responses and may take up to a year to complete the workbook. Learners need to save progress and return frequently to edit or add responses. Once Submit is clicked inside module, all responses are finalized and flow into a custom SumTotal report for manager review. Challenges: While Storyline supports up to a 5,000‑character Essay field, maintaining long‑term suspended data in SumTotal hasn’t been reliable. We’ve experienced users losing in‑progress responses. Mid‑process tracking in the LMS is less intuitive for managers. Staff often draft responses in OneNote or Word to preserve progress, then submit finalized content in the workbook modules, which are intended to centralize advancement responses. Questions: Has anyone successfully used Storyline + SumTotal for long‑term, editable workbook‑style modules? Are there configurations or design patterns we may be overlooking? How do you support ongoing, day‑to‑day work while still using the LMS as the system of record? Thanks for any insights or examples.What do you use for storyline file Version control tools? Git?
Hey everyone, In our organization, we often have more than one person needing to edit a storyline file. It's becoming a version control nightmare. I thought git might work as a version control system forcing user to check out/in files when they are going to work on them. My boss thinks git would not be right for this purpose. We are currently just using the honor system and trying to force everyone to append the current date in their file names (e.g. myfile_04022026.story), but not everyone does and it's a huge problem. We really need a tool for this instead. How do you all manage this? What tools have you found that work well? What tools have been a disaster for this? All advice welcome! Thanks, LoriAudio-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 regardsiFrame video becoming a keyboard trap
We have several Rise tutorials that use YouTube content embedded using iFrames. Doing accessibility testing, we recently discovered that these become keyboard traps. Users can tab into the content and play it, but the standard guidance of using esc to navigate out of the video isn't working and tabbing through also doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have insight into what we need to do to make this content fully keyboard accessible? Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!Problem: Review 360 courses now all in read only mode?
360 review seems to be only publishing courses in read only mode, which disables commenting, this is across the board with all our courses. I have seen others online posting the same. Is anyone experiencing the same and has anyone got the issue resolved. TIAOnline 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! Thank you, TaraImporting 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.
