Introducing Quick Share: One-Click Publishing for Everyday Learning
We’re excited to share a brand-new way to get your Rise content out into the world: Quick Share! What Is Quick Share? Quick Share lets you publish Rise courses instantly and share them with a simple link, no LMS setup, no logins, no admin delays. You’ll also get light analytics so you can see how many people viewed your course (and, with the Guestbook enabled, who those learners are). It’s all about speed and simplicity, helping learners get the right information at the right time without barriers. When to Use Quick Share Quick Share is perfect for everyday learning content that needs to move fast: Job aids and quick reference materials Presentations or meeting resources Explainer modules and how-tos Operational updates or announcements Pre-boarding and onboarding refreshers It’s also a great way to share examples right here in the E-Learning Heroes community. It’s a fast way to showcase your creativity, get feedback, and inspire fellow creators. If you need deeper, learner-level analytics or advanced group management, that’s where Reach or your LMS comes in. Quick Share can live alongside those tools to give you flexibility. 🎥 Tip Video: Deploy Content Rapidly with Quick Share Community Use Cases We love seeing how community members are already using Quick Share: BradDameron uses it to share preview links and resources across departments. “The Guestbook gives us a general view of engagement — perfect for quick stakeholder visibility,” he shared. JeremyNash uses Quick Share to deliver client-specific training without needing an LMS: “It’s a great step between Preview and Review.” JessicaDecker found it helpful for external partners: “We need to share training with outside vendors who don’t have LMS access. The Guestbook is nice so we can still track who’s taken it.” Try It Out! Quick Share is automatically available for all Articulate 360 creators, no setup required and no extra cost. 💬 Have you tried Quick Share yet? How are you using it?

Greetings, Simple question, hopefully, how can I tell the AI image generator to "give me a full body shot" of a character I'm listing traits for? I'm running into this issue and it drives me crazy: everytime I want Storyline to generate a character, of any kind, with various prompts, using the AI image generator, it cannot or heavily struggles to get me 4 "full body shots". I'm always asking for the portrait format, not square or landscape. In photography, a full body shot is "from head to toe, completely framing the subject". Right now, unless I'm adding "walking" to my prompts, I'm getting Italian shots (head to pelvis), portraits and close-ups. If I write "standing", "full body shot" and whatnot, it doesn't generate complete characters. Please note for traits, be eyes, hair, eyes, skin color, outfits and such, Articulate's AI is... pretty spot on. It's not perfect and there are mishaps, but design-wise, it gets the job done. However, if I ask for a character, I do expect a full body shot unless I'm asking specific framing prompts. I currently have the Dec. 17th 2025 version of Storyline (3.107.35974.0), if that can tell you how the AI was fine-tuned by now. I know there's a new update today, but... right now I'm using the December version, since I needed to update Storyline right away a few days ago and I can wait for later versions. Thanks in advance and have a nice day :)Storyline 360 Pros — What’s Your Favorite “Hidden Gem”? 💎
As someone who’s spent a lot of time working with (and on!) Storyline 360, I’ve come to appreciate the power in the little things — those lesser-known features that quietly make our lives easier. Here's one of my personal favorites: 🎧📽️ Cue Points with the “C” Key: I recently spoke with a customer who struggled to time trigger actions to audio and video media on their slides. They would preview the slide, make note of when a trigger should be fired, then return to slide authoring view to add a cue point to the timeline to tie into the trigger event. This would require a lot of manual back-and-forth between authoring and previewing. I often have to do the same thing, and there is an easier way. If you use stage preview (accessible via the "Play" icon" in the lower-left corner of the Timeline panel), Storyline will stay in the slide authoring view and play the timeline of the slide, including any audio or video media that's present. As it plays, you can press the "C" key on your keyboard to have cue points added to the current playback position. It’s a simple way to place cue points in real time, right where they’re needed — perfect for syncing trigger actions to specific moments in your media. cting Storyline 360's UI and using the "C" key to drop cue points on the timeline. Now I’m curious: What’s your favorite under-the-radar Storyline feature? Something small, subtle, maybe even a little obscure — but that you personally couldn’t live without. Drop it in the comments — I’d love to learn what little gems you rely on. 👇Storyline Carousel Template
Struggling to fit all your content on one slide? Been there! 🙋♂️ Check out the Articulate Storyline 4-Sliders Template I just released! It's perfect for chunking your content into manageable sections.

Is there an easy way to slow down the text-to-speech for each slide-to-speech file? Meaning, I don't want to slow down a specific word or words but rather the entire paragraph of text on a slide. I want to slow down the entire rate for that voice file. Any way to do this? It would be nice to have this an option when the "insert text to speech" window opens. Then have a selection to slow down the rate at that point, with options of rate speeds)3D objects in Storyline
Hi Articulate Team, Are there any plans to bring support for 3D objects (such as .obj files) into Storyline? Essentially I'm referring to a 3D model viewer component function added to Storyline allowing for some basic manipulation of the 3D object itself such as rotate and move in X/Y/Z axis, exploded view, and part isolation. This would work wonders for so many learning projects and enhance the actual learning being achieved by the learner. Whilst Storyline has an insert web object feature, this requires additional overhead of the resource itself already being suitably hosted online or in a folder that can be hosted online (i.e. it contains HTML like files - index.html, etc. which is effectively asking for it to be web-ready). This isn't always suitable or practical for every company and their respective IP assets/resources. I have come across multiple threads asking for such a feature. Here's a few of them: 3D Models in Storyline | Articulate - Community Import 3d shapes into articulate storyline 360? | Articulate - Community How to put/import 3D moldels in Storyline | Articulate - Community In one of the threads I came across, there was a reply from Katie Riggo who stated "We're working on the ability to add 360° media assets to your courses". However, later on in the thread this turned out to be referring only to 360-degree images despite the thread being filled with people asking and requesting for 3D object support in terms of 3D models and being able to manipulate them like they can in PowerPoint. You can chalk this up as another +1 to the feature request for native 3D object support by way of being able to import and, to a basic level, manipulate them. Kind regards, SamVimeo - "Sorry, we're having a little trouble."
Hello there: I'm adding some Vimeo videos in a course in Storyline 360, but lately some students are complaining about that they are trying to watch the video it appears: "Sorry, we're having a little trouble." This happens with random videos at random times. I've contacted with Vimeo but all their are being useless. The videos are embebed as unlisted. Any solution to this? Thanks!Articulate Sign in "Couldn't Open Port"
Launched my Storyline 360 desktop app and was prompted to sign in. Typically clicking 'sign-in' launches a browser window where I sign in and then have access on the desktop as well. Today I received the attached message in the application when I clicked sign-in. "Couldn't Open Port" "Unable to open a port for authentication responses." Steps taken: Closed out and relaunched desktop application Restarted entire computer and relaunched Went directly to Articulate360 website to sign in Got into website, but did not connect me to the desktop app. Peers in my organization are not experiencing the same issue. Thoughts? Thanks!Some AI Voices are Going Away in April: What to do Next
Following changes from our text-to-speech partner, ElevenLabs, some AI voices will be retired in April 2026, and we want to make sure you have time and support to plan ahead. What this means: Any audio you’ve already generated with these voices will not go away. After April 2026, you won’t be able to create new audio using the retired voices. You will also no longer be able to regenerate audio in existing courses using these voices. What to do next: If you've used one of these voices in your trainings, you'll receive direct email outreach from us. Review the AI voices that will be retired and ElevenLabs’ recommended replacements: View the impacted voices and how to update them. Stop using the soon-to-be-deprecated voices in your trainings. While existing audio will continue to play, you won’t be able to regenerate or create new audio with these voices after April. Look out for more direction from us soon. Our team is working on tools to help you easily swap voices on impacted audio files. We’re also exploring other ways to avoid similar disruptions in the future. We know that losing access to voices can be disruptive. We’d love to learn from the community as you navigate this change: If you’ve already navigated a voice swap, consider sharing what worked for you. What would make a migration tool most helpful for your workflow? If you need one-on-one help, our Support team is always here at [email protected]
